Vitamins

I am looking for some good vitamins, I've heard prenatal vitamins are really good (as long as they are gluten-free) and I was wondering if a lack of iron can make you cold? I am always cold and I don't know if it’s that or if it’s because I just have bad blood circulation?! I do, however, get really hot when I eat gluten, my face gets flushed and I get the chills (I kind of feel like I have the flu). Can anyone else relate? Oh and my hair starts to fall out if I eat gluten, what’s up with that? Is it a nutrient thing? I have so much to learn…lol…thanks guys for any input!

I think it is. i have been FREEZINg for the lasy year since I developed the symptoms of Celiac's. I just got my blood test results back and I have very little iron! I just started taking my multi-vitamin again (my stomach couldn't handle it for awhile) and it seems to be getting a bit better. Last winter I had to wear termal underwear 24/7.

GNC has a great iron supplement. It is called Ironchel 18. It is pretty easy on the stomach.

I have problems with low iron and always cold. I've been told that the iron that is easiest for your body to use is ferrous fumerate. That came from a pharmacist. And your hair falling out after gluten - gluten causes major stress for your body and the hair falling out is a symptom of the stress, and the fact that your villi are damaged by gluten and so can't properly absorb nutrients. So stay gluten free - obsessively even.

I know that low iron makes you cold--I always take Nature Made Woman +50 and I grabbed the one without iron in it and didnt realize it--its called Woman 50+. I couldnt figure out why I was so cold and tired all the time. So, yeah, iron does that. Gointribal, why would you eat gluten for any reason if you know you must be gluten-free. Save your hair and your health--no gluten--ok. Deb

Berneses, I saw that you were from Portsmouth, NH! I from Epsom, NH, great to hear from a fellow New Hampshirite! Deb, you're right I should stay away from gluten, however, I don't even know if I have celiac?! So often I feel like its all in my head, my blood test came back normal, exept for a percentage (which I didn't really understand) and its not until Feb when I go in for my EDG. Waiting has been the hardest part :(

If your hair falls out when you eat gluten, I would think that is enough to tell you that you shouldn't eat gluten.

My blood test came back negative, but all my symtoms went away after I stopped eating gluten (I started on the diet after the blood test but before I got the results). I don't care what the tests say; I don't want to be sick again. I have felt so good lately that I have wondered if I'm imagining how bad I used to feel. I almost want to have a big bowl of pasta just to confirm to myself that this is really my problem, but then some part of me knows I will get really, really sick and it isn't worth it.

I'm having an endoscopy this week (for another reason) and while they are down there I asked them to check for celiac. Since my blood test was negative, I'm thinking the biopsy will be too, but I'm still sticking with my diet.

Once I feel much better we are going to try to get pregnant. I went ahead and started on the prenatal vitamins because I figured my body could use the boost. I wouldn't think that it would hurt to take them. My health food store thought it was a good idea. I am still always cold and I live in Florida. I keep a heating pad in the living room and turn it on when I'm watching tv, even when it is 70 outside. I hope that gets better.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
