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:

www.yourlifevitamins.com

And it helped alot and I felt better...

~ Hope you feel better! B)

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.

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

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 :D

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. :D

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.

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

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
