I can't take it anymore! I just want to find a gluten free, multi vitamin, multi mineral, natural, low iron vitamin. I would also like it if it was soy and dairy free :D

Country Life and Now are the two brands that come to mind. They are the brands I use most often.

I agree with the recommendation of Country Life and NOW Foods. Search their websites for the things you're looking for. However, since not everything we need fits into one capsule, I'd recommend getting some things separately. So for example, things we need large amounts of such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc might be better obtained in separate supplements. Others are co-enzyme B-complex, a separate B12, and possibly Vitamin D3. I find that the best multivitamins just don't pack a lot of certain things.

I ended up getting a multi just for the B-complex in it, because those are practically the only ones it has in meaningful amounts. Then separate minerals, methyl B12, and D3. I just started using a D3 which has vitamin K2 in it, just to see if it helps with anything.

I tend to use Rainbow Light. While I don't use a low iron one (I'm female, I'm low in iron stores, and I'm pregnant! I cook in a cast iron pan whenever I can!), the Men's One has no iron, and a good mix of the rest.

I just started my 14 yr old son, whose face cleared up somewhat since being gluten-free for almost one year, on the Rainbow light brand. It's only been one week and I just remarked minutes ago that his face already cleared up!

He pretends to gag every time he takes one and complain about the smell. But I got a can of ginger out of the cupboard and showed him that these pills smell exactly like ginger--his favorite Chinese spice.

I bought mine through Amazon. I plan on switching to that brand as soon as I'm finished with my current bottle.

I use the Hypoallergenic Multi Vitamin from Kirkman Labs. It contains no iron, though.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
