Trying A New Way Of Vitamins

A friend of mine told me about this company that makes a vitamin type thing in a shake base that you take 2 times a day. He told me how much better he feels and how it has really improved his life (IE: no more head aches or fatigue and sleeps better). His friend then told me that she has depression and fibro milga (i know i spelled that wrong, sorry!) and it has REALLY improved her symptoms. Neither of these people have celiac.

I suffer from fatigue, depression and celiac (DUH!) and they think it might help me feel better. So I'm going to try it for 3 weeks. If it works I'm passing on the info! But I just wanted to give yall a heads up and I'll post on here if i feel any changes.

Has anyone else tried something similar to this? I REALLY hope it works, i'll try anything at this point!

please do pass on the info if you find this supplement helpful. i am on a bunch of vitamins now have a hard time swallowing pills so would love to drink a shake instead, or in addition, to a vitamin regamin. at this point (around 6 weeks in) i will try anything (as long as it's gluten-free) to get feeling closer to normal!!

here is a short summary of the past few days:

day 1: took it, felt fine, started to feel like i was gunna barf but thought it was cause i didn't eat much and was just hungry.

day 2: took it in the morning and barfed my brains out for a few hours.

day 3: took it and could bearly get it down, felt sick after

day 4: took it and i'm trying everything in my power not to barf.

I'm done, it didn't work.

Does anyone have a good vitamin that helps with fatigue?!

I have fatigue as a major symptom. The best thing for me has been my every-other-day B12 injections (I give them to myself); I was dx'd w/ b12 def. long before celiac and may have PA too.

I've been taking Garden of Life Living Multi women's formula. I don't know yet if it really helps w/ fatigue, but it's the first vitamin I've been able to take w/o severe pain, d, reflux, or vomiting. It's a 'whole food' vitamin, meaning that the vitamins come from food (not chemicals) and have been made "body-ready" w/ probiotics and enzymes. It also spreads the dose - you take two 3x a day ... this allows more to be absorbed by your body and it to be less shocking to the system. Big downside - expensive.

I also use a juicer (my favorite is kale-carrot-apple w/ parsley) to up vitamin, etc intake in easily digestible form; juicer takes out the fiber.

I'm looking forward to hearing what vitamins others take - it's such a difficult process!

i have a juicer and have been making juices and that supposedly is the best way to get vitamins back into your system. and some are pretty tasty.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
