Hi Daphne,

I have deficiencies as well, but also issues digesting vitamins. I’ve had the best luck with Dr. Axe. You can get them online. I also get my bone broth there. Ideally, the best source of nutrients is from a balanced diet from whole foods.  I have malabsorption so I’m using the bone broth for healing my GI. Organic super greens powder is another good source of nutrients. 

Hope that helps.

Certified to be under 20 ppm or 5ppms? Do you know does it say on the website ? I can't handle any more the 5 ppms right now I'm to sick

The certifying organization certifies to 10ppm.  That doesn’t mean all the vitamins have 10ppm, it means that is the maximum amount they might have.  They might also have 0ppm but the analytical methods can’t verify that. However, it is not the ppm but the total amount of trace gluten ingested that causes problems for us super sensitives. Vitamin pills are pretty small compared to a serving of a food, so even if a pill contained 10ppm of gluten that would be a tiny amount. It would be micrograms, not milligrams.

Naturemade has a pretty good gluten-free vitamin D pill.

Consider just taking the vitamins you know you are deficient in (B-12 and vitamin D).  That way you can have fewer ingredients to worry about.  I suggest that the B-12 be sublingual (dissolves under the tongue).  Be sure it is methylated too.  

Ask your pharmacist for help in selecting a gluten free version or the right D or B-12.  In the meantime, take in a few minutes of sunshine with a walk!  ?

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
