      A multivitamin is great.  Multivitamins contain lots of trace minerals we need.  My only hesitation is that many use thiamine mononitrate which is not easily absorbed nor utilized by the human body.  Thiamine mononitrate is used because it's cheap and shelf stable.  You can add in a thiamine hydrochloride or a Benfotiamine supplement in addition to the multivitamin.   I would give a multivitamin to all the kids.  Even the ones without triggered celiac disease.  Kids do a lot of growing, even into their early twenties, and need plentiful B vitamins.  The gluten free diet can be low in the B vitamins.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted in urine if not needed.  The...

      That is true! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
