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:

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.

Mom :P

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
