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.

CHOCOLATE Viactiv!!

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.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
