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.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
