Multi-Vitamin or individual supplements

While my iron and ferritin levels are now in the upper half of the normal range, vitamin b12 and folate have dropped.  I was told to stop taking my iron supplement so the only thing I am taking is calcium and vitamin d.  I feel I should be taking something else and not sure if a good multivitamin would work or a vitamin b12 pill and folate pill.  Any suggestions?  Who makes a good multivitamin.

You should go with a sublingual B12 if your levels are dropping. You may not be healed enough to get much benefit from a swallowed tablet. For the folate I would just go with a good multi. A liquid multi might be a good idea until your fully healed. Just make sure any supplements you take are gluten free. Wheat and barley grass can be included and the item may still have a gluten free label. Watch out and read all ingredients cause you don't want those.

Here's an article that explains what each of the eight B vitamins do and why you should take them altogether.  The B vitamins need each other to work properly.

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do...maybe.) But, generally in the clinical setting, coming off prednisone requires a taper, as suddenly quitting can cause problems. Anyway, good for you!

      I am 58 years old and was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease based on an EGD showing lymphocytic infiltrates and blunted villi in my duodenum. Lab work shows a severe IgA deficiency. Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency?  I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should get more information regarding the consequences of not having IgA from an expert. I live in Atlanta and surprisingly I have yet to find an immunologist that specializes in this area. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who I con consult with?  I’m sure that telemedicine consults can easily be accomplished these days if I can’t find a local...

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
