Good Quality Multi Vits

I found out after taking vit c tablets and multi vits (off the shelf supermarket ones) that I wasn't quite right. Seems it was the corn that was causing me issues. However given my dietary limitations and of course the damage to my poor stomach/intestines I think I need a good quality multi vit at the very least.

Anyone got a recommendation? I am very sensitive so need a good quality one.

Sorry I don't know the answer and not trying to hijack the thread but I would like to know like you. If someone also suggest a liquid as well as I do not absorb anything unless its liquid with C.

Vitanica makes am excellent one except it has iodine in it, so I'm off that for a while. I've been taking one from Country Life and it's ok, leaves an aftertaste but doesn't bother my stomach. I don't think it absorbs as well as the Vitanica.

I'm having a heck of s time with Cal/Mag/vitD tight now. I think it bugs my stomach.

I know you said you tried the off the shelf ones but have you tried the ones from Target. I have ones that is actually for teen girls but I really liked it. I tried a couple of different expensive ones and didn't like anything of them but I the target ones are great

My doc prescribed a prenatal vitamin for me that works well. I was taking Nature's Way Alive multi vitamin but it has wheat grass in it and I was not sure what might be doing to me so I switched.

Quite interested in these:- Open Original Shared Link

Anyone tried? Seems a decent concept although I would have thought these would be a lot more expensive as a result. Seem reasonable given that some of the vitamins come from fruit which is obviously expensive.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
