I'm talking about supplements, herbs, etc...something you take everyday that helps you in some way. Celiac treatment related or not....list what you take, where you get it and what it does! Awesome!

My Wife. My Family. Her Family. Kayaking. Kayaking again. Riding my bike. My friends. My School. My work. Remembering that my life is not defined solely by the things I eat.

That's my "secret" weapon. I also take a multivitamen and B-complex vitamin, but I don't know if they do anything....

Chocolate is also high in magnesium, which is why so many people crave it.

I think probiotics are essential, but I have to agree with Geoff, it's my family, especially hubby, that keeps me going.

My daily 3 of these foil-wrapped wonders have been helping me rebuild my poor osteoporetic bones which...keeps me dancing (the other thing I can't live without)!

Synthroid! I always know when my dosage needs to be changed because I'm extremely tired.

MY Daughter Hannah is my secret weapon, she is the Princess in my life, along with my husband, she tells us that we are "her subjects in her kingdon"

Made up Knock Knock jokes, I can be in one of those moods and she gives me one of her made up Knock Knock jokes and it brings me right out of it.

Currantly looking for a Vitamin supplement that does not make me too constipated.

I don't take anything everyday, but here are things I find helpful and energizing:

Bach Rescue Remedy (relieves stress - it's amazing)

Vitamin B supplements

Omega-3 Fish oil supplements

Chlorella

Organic fruits and veggies put through a juicer

Coconut oil or fresh young coconut water

What's your reccommendation for probiotics? i've talked to the people at the health food store, and done a little reading on them, but I don't have insurance right now, so I have no dr. to talk w/...but i've been curious to try them.

what is this? does it have to do w/ low thyroid?...if so, do share!!!

I take a lot of probiotics because I'm on a lot of long-term antibiotics for Lyme Disease. I'm taking Metagenics Ultra Flora, Theralac, and VSL#3. All are available on the internet. I would recommend the Ultra Flora or Theralac. The VSL#3 would be over-kill for you. The Theralac is the stronger of the two, but the Ultra Flora is good, too.

does it matter brand-wise what probiotics you use? i'm still very nervous to try them...but if they'll help, i'm game.

Also, does anyone take pomegranate or noni? i've heard these are both good supplements to use.

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.
