Costco's Kirkland Signature and Nature Made brands are good choices for vitamins and supplements and most of them are gluten free. They will say so clearly on the bottle if they are. Don't forget the D3 (2000-5000IU).

Don't be shy about loading up on the B's. They are water soluble and you just pee out any excess.

Okay first off I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help it means a ton.

I have been doing a lot of research because I have honestly been going crazy, I have never been an anxious person at all until my celiac diagnosis and now I am so hyper focused on my health and body. Anyways, I think a vitamin D deficiency is the reason for my shakiness, brain fog, bouts of depression, weak feelings. I do not eat a lot of foods rich in vitamin D and I also have not been getting even close to enough sunlight as I am doing college online and go to the gym at night. I have started taking 4000 UI of D-3 a day for the past couple of days. What are your thoughts on this?

I have been on this forum so much because I am honestly lost, I feel like I will never feel normal again.

I agree. The knowledge of the Admins and Mods here is incredible. Thiamine is a big one as it's hard to for Coeliacs to get it in sufficient amounts from food. I was taking 200mg of Magnesium Glycinat

Oh, I also wanted to ask if it was normal for vitamin defiency symptoms to just pop up after being gluten free for about 5 months?

Evan, what makes you say that the vitamin deficiencies you speak of have existed only since you started eating gluten free 5 months ago? I doubt that is actually the case but realize that gluten free foods that substitute gluten free flours for wheat flour will be lower in nutritional value because the gluten free substitute flours are not required by the FDA to be enriched and fortified as is wheat flour. 

Yes, it is not uncommon for people to become a little preoccupied with their health once they are diagnosed with celiac disease, especially once they begin to learn the damage it can cause to their bodies. Usually, this subsides after they make necessary lifestyle and dietary adjustments and "learn the ropes" so to speak. It becomes the new norm. Those who have anxious personalities to begin with may struggle more with this, however.

No these defiency symptoms were definently going on before switching to gluten-free. There was just a time period that I felt very good, about 1-2 months after going gluten free. Then about a month ago I developed some sailors asthma, anxiety, and unsteadiness feelings

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
