Multivitamins advice

Hi, 

Just after a little bit of advice on which multivitamins are best for me. I've been diagnosed with celiac disease around 2 months ago after biopsy results came back. 

Since I started the gluten free diet when I was diagnosed I've felt much better but the last week or so I've been having some lower stomach pain and not sure why. Few people have said a multivitamin may help. 

Should I speak to a doctor before taking a multivitamin? 

Which multivitamin would be right for me? (31 years of age) 

Would a multivitamin help?

I've been looking at the Centrum Advance online which looks a good choice but seen a few things saying it's mainly for over 50s. 

Any advice for me would be great. 

Thank you.

I don't believe that you would need to consult with your doctor, unless you have issues, like me, where you can't take iron. To be safe you could go with Centrum with no iron, or One A Day no iron, but either should be a good choice.

Thanks for the reply. No I don't have any other issues so will go for the Centrum Advance. Thanks for your help.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
