Hi, i have a question not exactly to do with gluten, but i want to know if anyone ever experienced taking vitamins that worked for a 2-3 weeks an d then they stopped having benefits.I also had similiar expereince whith homeopathy, it works great after 3 weeks of starting it and after others 3 weeks the effects are gone.

What do you mean by you stop seeing benefits? Did you developed gluten type symptoms that had been gone for a bit? If that is what you mean have you checked to make sure those supplements were gluten free? Some will have barley or wheat grass that many be considered safe but that many of us will react to. Avoid them. As far as homeopathics go, I have not found any that I can safely use. Although gluten derived alcohol is considered gluten free I still react to it even in the small amounts in the preperations. Not all will but enough of us do to make me encourage folks to avoid it until fully healed.

what do you mean by "stopped working"? Have you had blood tests that revealed vitimin deficiency despite taking vitimin supplements?

I would have to ask what you mean by "benefits." Are you talking about vitamins treating nutrient deficiency as a benefit? Or are you talking about vitamins making you feel "good"? Vitamins may make you feel "healthier" at first, but even when that feeling wears off, they should still be doing their job, which is to supplement your diet and make sure that you're getting the nutrients you need each day. Feeling "good" from taking vitamins is nice, but it certainly doesn't last forever, and it's not the reason we usually take vitamins. You may not always feel the benefits of vitamins, but they are doing their job in your body.

Good luck!

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
