Need Energy

[chasefamily]

Hi does anybody have any ideas on good vitamin supplements that will give me more energy? I am so tired I just haven't been to work all week so far sleeping 12 hours. And still feeling tired.

Well, I have been feeling the same; tired all the day and feel that I need more energy.. So, I took (and still taking as long as I remember to do so):

~ MultiVitamins For Teens (since I'm a teen), from the company "Puritan's Pride"

~ B-Complex + Energy, from the company "Your Life"...

Please check the following website:

And it helped alot and I felt better...

~ Hope you feel better!

Don't forget to make sure you've had your iron, thyroid, and hormone levels checked - all of those can affect energy levels.

Getting exercise daily (and I know it's hard when you're already tired, but it's still important) is also helpful.

Thanks all, I do have hypothryoidism and also I am anemic . I am currently on meds for thyroid and just started back on Iron meds, niforex 150 twice daily hopefully I will start to feel more energetic. I was just wondering if there was any supplement that people with celiac take to help give them more energy since that seems to be the main symptom. I have fought with fatigue problems for a long time. It just comes and goes, some times it is worse that other times.

Take the iron, a good mulitvitamin, B complex, and eat plenty of protein. Becaue you're anemic, it will take a while to get the energy back. Even when my iron got back to normal ranges it was still months before I got back to normal. I'm afraid there's no magic pill.

My doctor just informed me that I needed to be taking a vitamin called Primal Force. She said it would help my energy level. Hope this helps.

your problems are your diet - eat whole grains, steam a variety of vegetables. Don't take supplements, they are a waste of time.

I take Emergen'c by www.alacer.com they provide a lot of energy.

Even with a healthy diet, a lot of people still need to take vitamin supplements.

maybe try ensure? www.ensure.com for their gluten free products; i'm a huge fan of their drinks. if it wasn't so calorie laden i'd have a sixer every day haha.

I have been using the Emer-gen-C vitamins since Rebecca's recommendation and I have felt great ever since (about a week or two). I too have been suffering from extreme listlessness & mental fatigue and haven't had a problem since.

The vitamins are in a powder form and are loaded with the B & C vitamins, among some others.

My fiance and I add a raspberry flavored packet to some iced tea... it's very good

A waste of time? What are you talking about?

I am not sure what you mean by a waste of time. You evidenally aren't anemic. Intestinal damage creates a situation to be anemic etc. Whole grains are not on the list for the celiac as far as wheat etc. I take many supplements and eat all the best nutrition that I can (meaning fresh fruits, vegetables,browm rice etc.) I would imagine that this is a waste of time to take any supplement that is necessary for added energy, healing and especially for the immune system.

I think supplements are a wonderful boost to the immune system and very helpful.

I agree! I would have been hospitalized without some supplements. I have to have iron infused this month. One must do the healthest thing possible when it comes to what is ailing you. It can months into years to heal, depending on the damage, so i will take my chances with supplements and all the gluten-free foods that are are good for you.

Supplements are NOT a waste of time they make a huge difference. And what is this whole grain nonsense? In case you haven't noticed that is something we CAN"T eat.

[mom]

Well said Ianm

I have to agree with you. My point exactly. We can't have whole grains.
