Hello everyone,

I thought we might keep a running list of supplements that you all take on a daily basis to help heal or alleviate glutening symptoms.

- L-Glutamine, for intestinal healing

- Multivitamin by Doctor's Choice for Sensitive Stomachs

- Fennel Seed, for bloating and stomach irritation

Brand names that guarantee gluten free status would be very helpful to many members. Great idea!

Oops, good catch. I use NOW brand for the Glutamine and Fennel Seed, and the multi is from Doctor's Choice.

emcmaster,

Is the multi from Doctor's Choice made by Enzymatic Therapy?

Hi,

I've been gluten-free for 5 months now, and have been glutened a few times along the way. When that happens I just get knocked flat, no energy, and spend a day or two in the bathroom with the big D (sorry). Here's what helps me:

-- Probiotic -- super strength, 2 hours after eating

-- Straight iced green tea eliminates my gassy problems after glutening

My daily supplement routine:

-- Liquid B-12 (had to search to find a gluten-free liquid form)

-- Liquid Calcium/Magnesium

-- Liquid Iron

-- Flaxseed Oil

-- Aloe Vera Gel -- pure form, mixed with cold water or juice -- swig it quickly

I go liquid form on everything because it seems to absorb so much better for me.

I have to pretty much hold my nose to take all these things. There can be an evil aftertaste -- especially with the iron (think rusty nails). But the supplements definitely help with energy levels, and overall healing.

When my girls get gluttened, I give them a dose of George's Aloe Vera juice immediately. It is amazing how quickly they recover. One has emotional responses and the other, physical. The aloe vera juice seems to work for both. I like George's brand because it tastes like water and you do not have to store it in the fridge. I have other medical issues and no longer have a colon - it helps my digestive tract, too. I have no scientific proof - it just seems to work for us.

After a glutening, I up my vitamin D supplement. It works well for bone/joint pain.

Just an FYI -- Costco sells a great gluten-free multi-vitamin and mineral supplement under their Kirkland brand.

Hi Friends,

I've only just begun figuring this all out - but I'm definitely allergic to wheat, probably celiac (history of fatigue, anemia etc)...have been having crazed bloating & constipation all year. Like my digestion just came to a halt. Just went to naturopath a few weeks ago..

-on anti-inflammatory/hypoallergenic diet for 3 weeks

-2 weeks of Replete (gluten-free) probiotics, followed by Spectra (gluten-free) probiotics

-2-3 OmegaZyme (Garden of Life) digestive enzymes after each meal

-warm water with lemon and honey each morning and before dinner

-1 cup of nettle tea, 1 cup of dandelion tea each day

-application of castor oil pack/heating pad working up to 1 hour a day in ten minute intervals. this has been the MOST helpful thing for me for the bloating and to just get my system feeling like it is moving/less toxic. i haven't heard a peep out of my stomach in a year and now it is begging to gurgle and growl again! thank goodness. (be sure to check with dr. before trying this!)

anyone else using castor oil?

great post, keep feeling healthy!

What brand of liquid calcium/magnesium do you use?

my daily vitamins/supplements include...

in the morning (all vitamins are Nature Made):

Super B Complex

Multi Complete

Antioxidant Formula

Calcium w/ Vitamin D

Vitamin C

in the evening before bed i take FloraQ2 probiotic

when i've been glutened, i make sure i keep taking the probiotic, but i also begin using Acacia Fiber supplement, which i already take a few doses a few times a week, but when i am glutened, i take it morning and night and it really seems to calm down the tummy symptoms, since it has a prebiotic effect.

I just got diagnosed 2 months ago so I'm very ignorant when it comes to vitamin supplements. How did you all know which vitamins to take?

I have been using LifeTime -- it's a calcium magnesium citrate (and it has a pleasant taste).

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
