Types Of Vitamins

Which kind of vitamins do you take? And do you take any other supplements?

I have been taking a Centrum for long time, but I feel like I should be taking something more advanced. I definitely feel like I am lacking minerals and vitamins. I have had really bad posture for so many years. I've done yoga... but I still sit all hunched over. What am I lacking?

I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor soon.

vitamins aren't going to do a lot for your posture - you need to build and use the muscles that maintain good posture. every day, multiple times a day. it takes a lot of work to break the slouching habit. :( (btw, how often did you do yoga? I didn't get much posture benefit at less than 3 times per week, because the your proprioception sense tends to 'forget' the corrections that a teacher gives you for appropriate posture over time.)

I take mineral drops by Liquimins and the ORIGINAL mangosteen supplement. It is SO awesome!!

I also take MSM and other things like calcium, magnesium, blue green algae, CoQ10 [because I'm on a beta blocker].

The last time I did yoga was prenatal yoga 8 months ago. Wow,, time goes fast. I'll probably start up again soon. I only had class once a week. Maybe I'll try and get into a class that offers 2 or 3 times a week. I sit hunched over about 90% of the day. The other 10% is only when I think about how I am sitting and sit up straight until I forget about it. I'll have to keep working at it.

I think I will try those mineral drops. I am also thinking about taking magnesium and calcium. Are there certain brands that are gluten free?

Hi I'm also looking for vitamins that will give me some energy. I have a very active toddler to keep up too.

You can try finding some sort of trigger - every half hour a reminder pops up, every time you get an email, every time you're at a stop light... something(s) that happen often - that remind you to fix your posture. There's no way out of simply reminding yourself over and over. Even when you do get better into the habit, you'll have to remind yourself, you'll just be better about reminding yourself. It's all a matter of effort.

If your "posture" has been bad for so many years, you might consider that you have either scoliosis or osteopenia. Have you been checked?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
