Vitamins

I'm newly diagnosed and I know they say Celiacs don't absorb vitamins from food, but I'm wondering if that doesn't also apply to actual vitamins? I see a lot of people on the forum saying which vitamins they take so I assume we don't absorb the vitamins from foods but we do from actual vitamins? This forum has been so helpful since I found out. I'm still in the process of finding out everything that's wrong, just had the bone density test and was told my results were low and that I had to contact my doctor to fing out what to do now. But I was thinking if she says to take a calcium supplement or some medication, will I absorb it? Thanks in advance.

I just started the gluten free diet 4 days ago. I'm feeling very down, discouraged and just don't feel like doing anything. What vitamins (if any) do you suggest I take to make me feel like I used to.

I would suggest that you contact your doctor and get a full blood work up to see where you may be deficient. Your b-12 of folic acid may be off.

It's easy to feel discouraged when you're starting a new diet and a new lifestyle :unsure:

Since you live so far north, I would recommend trying Vitamin D... especially if you've noticed that you feel more upbeat in the summer (I do B)). Check out this website:

I agree with Momma Goose... before you go trying lots of supplements, get some basic tests. Low iron levels, for example, can also make you feel tired.

To answer DianeBinNY's question... unless your intestines were severely damaged, you're probably absorbing some vitamins. You'll absorb even more as your body heals. If you need to take a supplement, I've read that calcium citrate is easier to digest than calcium carbonate... take it with Vitamin D and magnesium.

      EMA Result

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated...

      Have I got coeliac disease

      Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US. vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection.

In studies, low D is a factor in almost all of the...

      EMA Result

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive. I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy? Thanks for...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.
