Multivitamin With No Or Low Calcium.

So my latest blood results from my Lupus doctor showed I have slightly high calcium(10.6 with a normal range of 8.6-10.4 mg/dL) and he wants me to stop getting extra calcium.  Given my Celiac disease, I want to keep supplementing with a well rounded multi-vitamin, preferably one that has iron given that I am a female.  

I have been taking the store brand of the One A Day Womens, which contains 500mg of Calcium Carbonate, 50% of daily value.  I have a lot of medical costs, so would highly prefer having it all in one pill as that will cost less than taking tons of vitamins separately.  Just looking online, the closest, most complete one I can find is Open Original Shared Link, with only 100mg of Calcium Carbonate.  Any recommendations?  gluten-free, of course :)

Also, I want to add, I don't want to go over 100% daily value of folic acid, because I have to take a big dose once a week after my methrotrexate, and too much of that will give you sores on the hands and mouth.

That is a good idea.  I think I am going to go on a tour of drug stores and GNC to see what I can find.

Hi, I use Rainbow Light, its gluten-free and dairy and casein free, and it has only 200mg of Calcium carbonate, 20% of daily value.   I think its a good vitamin to take, and it gives you 6mg of iron, 33% of daily value.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
