GLUTEN FREE VITAMINS


SLG

Recommended Posts

I was wondering what gluten-free vitamin I you guys would recommend for my 9 year old. I currently give him lil critters gummy vitamins but suddenly he claims he doesn't like them. He doesn't mind swallowing pills however I am not sure which gluten-free multi-vitamin would be best? My concern is that most vitamin capsules are huge and I am not sure if he would be able to swallow them. Please help. Thank you!

Liquid Sublingual so no pills, you just measure out and add it to beverage of choice. I use the Stress & Energy and Neurological support 1 tbsp each 3 times a day. Perhaps half that for kids. OR get the childrens multi. You can find them on Luckyvitamin.com and amazon. I get them at the cheapest and watch both sources. Liquid forms are much easier absorbed also.

Does he need vitamins?  Has his doctor run a vitamin and mineral panel?  Mine did.   I take no vitamins.  None.  Except for the first few months, I took an iron supplement after my Celiac Disease diagnosis.  My anemia resolved within months.  It was either that or some blood transfusions which I declined.    I do make sure to eat a healthy diet as does my family who also does not take vitamins.

I buy Nature's Way Alive! chewables, but I actually find it makes my older celiac daughter irritable, the other one has no side effects.  The I have looked high and low for gluten-free allergy friendly vitamins. I can't take anything other than sublingual because it stresses my liver out more. Be careful of that. The longer you have been undiagnosed the more it's going to stress out your body. I was also severely anemic--and the only way I got my iron back up was through red meat.

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
