Has Anyone Tried Gel Supplements/vitamins?

Hi there,

We've been looking high and low for non-pill form gluten free supplements because my mother-in-law just can't seem to digest or absorb or swallow them. She is 75 and just found out she had been celiac her whole life a few years ago.

We tried the liquids but she found them to much work and she couldn't travel with them.

She recently started trying these new gluten free gel supplements by Agel that her friend distributes (http://naand.iamagel.com) and really likes them but I'm wondering if anyone has heard of any other gel supplements or liquid supplements that they like or have tried?

The reason we want the gel is because it's 80% absorbable by the body compared to the pills (according to our pharmacist) and just much easier on the body. She also likes that she only has to take one a day to get what she needs because she is already taking so many other pills and there is no mixing or shaking or refrigeration required.

Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know and I'll pass the info along.

As a side note, for you Canadians out there, we just got back from GrailSprings.com which is in Bancroft Ontario - it's a health and wellness spa and all their meals are gluten free. It's for people who want to detoxify but the food is great - I am waiting for them to send us the recipes.

Thanks

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
