Vitamins And Supplements

It seems there are so many different supplements and vitamins on the market. I would like to take supplements that are good for us with celiac disease, however it is quite mind boggling when you go to that section of the store because there are so many.

I would like to know which supplements that you think are most important to aid in the healing and overall continued well being of our health.

Also, has anyone taken any of the Andrew Lessman vitamins or supplements?

Thanking you in advance for your help.

I take Rainbow Light Healthy Family Multivitamin powder. Since it is a powder it is more easily absorbed and I can tell the difference in the way I feel. Some places that carry the brand but not that specific product will order it free of additional charge.

Do you know if it is dairy free - the casin? I know that it doesn't have lactose. Is there a toll free number on the package to see if it is CF too?

It says"100% natural-free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives and other objuectionalble additives often found in vitamin products. Hypoallergenic. Contains no lactose, wheat, gluten or allergenic yeasts."

website is www.rainbowlight.com

There isn't a phone # on the container.

This is what worked for me. My Dr. had tried a number of things which didn't seem to have results but then gave me these two items which took away my chest/stomach pain.

I now take VSL #3. The description says "The living shield, A medical food for the dietary management of irritable bowel syndrome or ulcerative colitis. 225 billion live lactic acid bacteria per serving. "

I also take Metagenics Glutagentics which says "Powerful Gastrointestinal Lining Support". It contains L-Glutamine, Deglycrrhizinized Licorice Root, Aloe Leaf Extract.

I haven't had luck with multivitamins but I've stopped experimenting so there is probably something that works for me I just don't know it.

I was not diagnosed with either irritable bowel syndrome or ulcerative colitis but My Dr. wanted to get the good bacteria back in balance in my system. I wasn't sure if you were asking for thing that worked or just for multivitamin suggestions so thought I'd throw my $.02 in.

Best,

Michelle

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      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.
