Vitamin D Supplement

HI everyone,

I've been doing really good on the gluten free diet and ever since I stopped all my vitamins seven months ago.

Just some past information- I got extremely sick for vitamins that were supposed to be gluten free last year.

I feel really good now, but I just got my blood work back and I'm a little low on vitamin D. It was 23. So now my doctor wants me to take a vitamin D supplement, but I'm really scared to take any vitamins even if they say gluten free.

Does anyone take a vitamins D supplement that they trust and are super sensitive?

My endo doctor suggested taking a 5,000 prescribed dose once a month that he was going to prescribe for me , but I'm not sure about that either.

Thanks everyone! :)

Have you checked into Bluebonnet vitamins? I'm taking their chewable Vitamin D3 (2000 IU) that I buy at my local health food store. Open Original Shared Link

Free of milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans.

Also free of yeast, gluten, barley, rice and sodium.

Hope this helps...

I agree--Bluebonnet is a good supplement manufacturer, and I've used a number of their products. Currently, I take a Vitamin D supplement (50,000 iu) from a compounding company, and it also has never given me any cc trouble.

By the way, 5,000 iu on a monthly basis is an extremely low dose. Many of us take 10,000 iu daily....and now I'm forced to take 50,000 iu several times a week during the winter months.

Fermented cod liver oil is a good way to get vitamin d and a. Green pastures tests for mercury and has good practices. They are having a really good sale right now so it might be a good time to try it out.

Hi, I am another who felt much better when I stopped taking vitamins and supplements. Then, I too tested low for vitamin D. I looked into liquid vitamin D. I thought that with the most concentrated form possible, the little bit that I would have to take would be unlikely to cause a reaction. I got one for which my daily dose is a fraction of a drop. I diluted it with a bit of safe oil so that I need one drop a day. It is labelled gluten etc. free. It's LifeExtension Vitamin D3 2,000 IU Liquid Emulsion.

In the summer I don't take it since I spend enough time outdoors.

HI everyone! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate all the advice. :)

My doctor just called me and he's going to put me on 50,000 vitamin D once a week for 6 weeks and then recheck my vitamin D counts. I'll have to call the pharmacy to find out if it's gluten free.

No wonder I'm getting colds more often... in the last two months I got three colds. When I was gluten free and taking vitamins I never got sick, but I know I was still getting CC from a lot of the gluten free vitamins. And then all of the sudden I got extremely sick from them. I would really love to find a multi that I could take. Even though I eat pretty healthy, I'm sure I'm not getting all the vitamins I need. I'll have to start another post just for multi's. :D

Hugs to you all! Thank-you! :)

Sounds like you are all set going forward. I have had good luck so far with Xymogen brand D3 drops, 5000 IU per day...

Hey..:)

I'm in Scotland and I get calcium and vitamin D3 chewable on prescription so its free.. I have to take it because my bone density test showed I had a degree of osteopenia.. :(

So like living with coeliacs I just have to get used to taking that for the rest of my life.

I am discovering I'm a "super sensitive" celiac too and got sick off several vitamins that were organic and labeled "naturally gluten free." I too just discovered I was low on vitamin D (my level was at 19 when normal is around 30-40). My doctor recommended 400IU daily.. which seems very minimal compared to other dosages I'm reading here. I went to Walgreens and got D3 in the "Finest Natural" brand. I have been fine using it so far. It makes me laugh because I used to buy the most expensive, organic vitamins and they all made me sick.. but a $3.00 brand from Walgreens works best for me. My body is silly. :rolleyes:

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
