Does anyone give their Celiac child any other vitamins besides a multi? For anxiety or to help them focus? If so where do you get it?

In addition to a multi-vitamin, I give my kids calcium (Nutrition Now Soft Chews) and omega 3 (Rainbow Light Gummy Omegalicious.) The calcium is because I have one child who has a bone cyst repairing itself and another who avoids milk due to an automimmune response to casein - nothing to do with focus. But the omega 3s are to help with focus. Whether it works or not, I can't really say, but they love them, and I figure it can't hurt. I have purchased both products at grocery stores with good health food sections and in Whole Foods. The other thing I do to help my children with focus is to make sure they start the day with protein in their breakfast.

I also give my daughter Omega 3s with breakfast everyday. Our doctor suggested it to help with her moodiness.

Country Life makes a B-complex which you should be able to find locally. A separate methylcobalamin (specific form of B12) sublingual lozenge can also be very helpful for neurological function. A calcium/magnesium combo is also good, and many include vitamin D as well. Vitamin C helps with the absorption of other nutrients, so that can't hurt either.

I have tried a liquid and gummy with fish oil in it and he gagged, can you taste the fish oil in the gummy?

My kids think they are delicious, but they turn my mouth inside out they are so sour. I guess the sourness, plus the fact that one dose is several in a foil pack, is to disguise the fish taste. I looked for a phone number on the box to see if I could find someplace you could call for a sample, but no luck.

Hello there, I am new to these forums as a registered member, but have been reading these for several months now. My son has been diagnosed with celiac. Has anyone heard of or used Bio B12 + Folic Acid by Genestra? I have had a hard time finding a B12 supplement for children. Thanks in advance for any help.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
