Hi, I'm new here. My son was diagnosed two weeks ago with celiac (he's 14). We don't see the dietician for another week. I've been giving him: One A Day Teen Advantage Complete Multivitamin, for Him. Does anyone know if these are gluten-free? Their website (wegman's) is not clear on it. Thanks!

One a Day vitamin is not gluten free--I switched my 13 yo DD to Lil Critters, there are others just check the label. They make a sour gummy which most kids like.

Oh great, I've been giving him gluten! Well, I'm glad I asked and thanks for your help. I've got the Lil Critters but I feel like I need to find something with iron to help him grow. I'll keep looking.

If they are a Wegmans brand product call them at the 1-800-wegmans number and ask. They are really good about knowing whether what they put under their label is gluten-free or not. They might need to call you back but they will get back to you.

Also do make sure that you have his iron levels checked by your doctor before you supplement iron. Too much can build up in organs and cause problems.

Don't feel bad, it took me a lot longer than 2 weeks to figure out that my son's vitamins contained gluten!

I was shocked that the flintstones vitamins aren't gluten-free. Re the iron--so get iron levels chkd before any supplementation. If he needs iron, buy a separate slow acting iron tab. The regular iron tabs cause very dark stools & constipation. Slow acting is much better. Also get his vit D levels chkd it is very common to have a deficiency

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
