Thought I had a good multi-vitamin (365 for women) but this morning I began to feel a bit queasy at breakfast (all carefully selected gluten-free items), about 15 minute after dropping my vitamin. I’ve taken these for about a month and have overall felt more pep in my step, but never thought to look at the ingredients list until the nausea came on. You probably already guessed: yep. So I was just going to Google best gluten-free multi for women plus iron and go past the sponsored results when it occurred to me, I would be better to trust the forum than Google AI. Anyone have a recommendation that they would share?

Hi, 

There are two brands I've trusted : ez melts and Nature's Bound. I personally don't take a multi vitamin, only get the ones my Dr. tells me I'm low in based on my annual test results, but I'm pretty sure both have one or something close for you. Quality ingredients grown  (mostly) and both have non GMO ingredients, plus are processed here in the US.

@placey0918 thank you for your quick reply. I will look for those to see if I can source them near me.

@placey0918 did you mean Nature’s Bounty? I’m not getting anything from Nature’s Bound.

Yes-sorry for that mistake. Nature's Bounty.

I prefer not to use Nature's Bounty because they use Thiamine Mononitrate which is not a useable source of Thiamine.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate is absorbed, and it must undergo chemical changes to convert thiamine mononitrate into a form the body can utilize more easily.  

Look for multivitamins that use Thiamine Hydrochloride, or take an additional thiamine supplement.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD) is helpful for neurological symptoms.  

A B Complex supplement in addition to a multi vitamin is another option.  

I like Life Extension brand.

Thank you! I did not realize the role of thiamine in hit healing. I will look for Life Extension then.

Interesting reading on Histamine Intolerance (HIT):

Histamine Intolerance: The Current State of the Art

Histamine Intolerance—The More We Know the Less We Know. A Review

We need the enzyme DAO (Diamond Oxidase) to break down histamine.  Our body can make DAO with Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and copper.  B12, zinc and magnesium, as well as thiamine, help, too.  

DAO supplements made from beef or pork kidneys are available, too.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
