Calcium And Iron

Is there anything with calcium and iron in it, that someone with Celiac can actually absorb? I don't need more bone problems (have a messed up spine now), and to be anemic.

I would check out New Chapter's line of vitamins. They're food based and cultured, so they're more easily absorbed.

Also, you really only need about one-third of the recommended daily intake of calcium. The reason that it's so high is because you don't absorb the majority of it. But since these are cultured, and not rock based, you absorb more of it.

Great! I will look and see if I can find them.

I am currently just taking Every Man's One Daily just because I feel it is a good all around vitamin with not too much of anything.

I would recommend Every Woman's Iron Support and maybe Cal Mag Bone Health. I do have to warn you, they are quite expensive so I'd recommend shopping around to look for the best price. www.Lame Advertisement.com usually has good prices.

Also, calcium is best absorbed from foods. Supplements will only take you so far. Here are some healthy foods high in calcium --> Open Original Shared Link

* Notice spinach

Also here is an interesting article about synthetic vitamins and calcium that might of interest to you: Open Original Shared Link

Also www.kirkmanlabs.com has allergy-free and gluten-free vitamins, minerals and supplements. They are wonderful to work with.

and make sure not to take calcium supplements and iron supplements at the same time. they interfere with each others absorption.

Okay, good idea. :) And as for finding vitamins... I forgot all about needing gluten-free vitamins! I cannot believe it is in that stuff too :P

These look like a good vitamin but one word of caution, they do contain soy and some of us cannot tolerate soy. If it seems like you are not tolerating them that might be the reason.

Another good brand of vitamins that is fairly reasonable in cost is Country Life. Also if you have a Wegmans close by they carry allergen free vitamins that are fairly reasonable.

Well, so far, no problem with soy. Thinking I may be anemic, going to get tested on Monday.

I will see if I can find any of those brands anywhere.

I have never heard of Wegmans, so I don't think we have one around.

Thanks!

      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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. 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!!!
