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

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.

      This is not standard when looking for celiac disease.  Is it CT enterography? That type of CT can be used when looking for Crohn’s disease or IBD.  CT will see more of the small intestine than can be seen during an endoscopy, as well as the large intestine.
