Does anyone drink the line of vitamin waters? Wondering if this would be a added boost to my diet.

They make me gassy but I think it's the sugar substitute that bothers me. I drink the SoBe Lifewater with no problems though.

I do sometimes.

Vitamin Water is gluten free. It's really just fancy sugar water, though, so if you're looking for vitamins, I'd get some vitamins. (I use it in place of Gatorade - times when I am specifically looking for the sugar.) (The sugar free version is then just artificially flavored fancy water. I'd stick with water.)

Vitamin waters are just overpriced bottled water. See the recent lawsuit against Vitamin Water because the claims on the bottle are a load of crap:

Before you start thinking Vitamin Water is healthy, have a look at this article. A Federal judge ruled that the health claims on Vitamin Water were misleading. The stuff is basically sugarwater with a trace of vitamins as a marketing ploy.

If you want vitamins, get a good multivitamin and mineral supplement, or eat nutrient dense foods like berries, greens, and bean sprouts. The drink called Emergen-C is good for B and C vitamins too.

I allow my daughter one of these per day. At first I objected, but... I have a super hard time getting her to eat her vegetables or take her vitamins. So I finally decided that at least with these she is getting some vitamins. Probably not the right ones though. She is very picky and will only drink the pink ones. Not sure what they have in them. She is only allowed to have the Zero kind. The kind with no calories.

Have you looked at the gummy vitamins? They're a pretty good alternative for picky kids and I'm pretty sure I saw some that were gluten-free. My nephews are really picky and that's about the best way to get vitamins into them.

I believe that Juice Plus gummy vitamins are gluten free.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you for your response. I'd love to read more about your suggestion, everything I find online speaks to the opposite. Unfortunately I need the HRT due to many other factors (post menopause symptoms and osteoporosis) so stopping the estrogen would be very unfortunate. Vitamin D is pretty good, not great, but now below the norm at 36

      I take a vitamin called 21 century it has everything magnesium potassium b12 and it's just a full supplement for the day ,then I have one that my mom brought which are gummies and then I tried centrum ,I also have range of different irons (iron sulphate,iron glyciatnate and others . My problem is that I live with my aunt and due to the circumstances in my home country ( war ) we live all in a small house and they don't cook food that is rich in food and I am not comfortable in cooking for my self like meat or something like that they get mad ,that I ate everything.so I mostly eat what they eat in the day which is just a big meal and then I make small snacks that i could eat I wanted to buy moringa powder or things that I can mix easily and put them in a water bottle.my family don't take things serious about celiac they just believe I am small because I eat rice which doesn't make you get fat as they believe.they also make fun of me when I say I am gonna eat alone due to your contamination I really struggle with them.also I have vitamin D ( it was the most absorbable vitamin for me ) my blood test went from 21 to 34 after i took 50000um I guess every week and that's it .can you recommend me vitamins I can buy from Amazon or anywhere

      Elevated estrogen or fluctuations in estrogen can contribute to leaky gut and cause elevated anti-gliadin IgG in people with celiac disease who are on a gluten-free diet,  High levels of progesterone have been shown to decrease gut permeability. Talk to your doctor about a vacation from the estrogen, from your decription it looks to be the culpret.  How is your vitamin D?

      The very reason you take supplements is because you absorb poorly due to the villi inflammation.  You need these vitamins to heal and get stronger.  Could you give us a list of what you are taking and quantity? Iron supplements cause a lot of people discomfort.  Better to get iron and folate from food.  Heme iron sources rom animal products like red meat, poultry, and seafood with raise your iron. Some blood tests like magnesium, potassium, the body has a homeostasis level that they must be in the nomal range.  So don't worry about the ones in normal range. As an example from myself.  I started taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D in 2014.  It only took a few weeks until I really felt the benefit.  I was very deficient.  In 2019 my blood level of 25(OH)D was one 47 ng/ml (=117 nmol/L).  Two more years to get to 80ng/ml (=200 nmol/L) the homeostasis level for vitamin D. Whuch ones make your side hurt?  Perhaps there is an alternate.   What vitamins are you concerned about?

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      Hello. My younger sister was just diagnosed with Celiac disease. My older sister is type 1 diabetic. I suspect my mother had Celiac. I have suffered with gastrointestinal problems my entire life. I want to get tested, but I’m self employed and I purchase my insurance through the ACA marketplace. Thanks to the Big Beautiful (Terrible) Bill, the enhanced subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025. The Republican legislature did not renew the enhanced subsidies. I will lose my health insurance at the end of 2025. I’m concerned that if I test positive for Celiac, I will not be able to find insurance coverage due to this pre-existing condition. So, I’m hoping to purchase my own test through WalkInLab (they offer the complete screen for $159). This way I’ll at least know if I have the disease. I won’t tell my doctor since there’s nothing he can do to help me anyway. Then I’ll cut gluten from my diet entirely, which will be easy. I hardly eat at all anymore. I just hope my insurance can’t somehow find out about the results of this screen, if it comes back positive. I’d be paying in full with a credit card.    Do any of you have any thoughts or advice?  Thanks for reading either way.
