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

      After waisted time of new care team, yet again EXHAUSTED saw new gi today in Modesto, though all my ailments im not getting any kind of concern of me being celiac and sentive to just about everything since menopause. 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.

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I  get the shakes.I have to take the crappy stuff and get injected always more than 4 times always.Its infuriating

      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

      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.
