Reaction To Gluten Free Vitamins?

So it has been just less then a week since I stopped eating gluten. I have noticed a HUGE difference. I also can tell within 15 mins of eating something if it has gluten in it. I am new to this and still learning what I should and should not eat. But I took a gluten free multi vitamin this morning. And now I feel HORRIBLE! I get dizzy and kinda jittery feeling. The world seems to be bouncing around when I move my head. I can't stop yawning and feel like I need to sleep NOW. My stomach is starting to hurt and that urgent need to use the bathroom is back. It has to be the vitamin, that is the only thing I had today other then a cup of coffee. But I drink coffee all the time with no problems. I am starting to wonder what else I can't have since the label says gluten free. :( It does say it contains soy. I have also learned that I can not eat potato's. They effect me worse then gluten some times. It's looking like I am not going to be able to eat anything but meat. I figured I could use a vitamin I mean who knows how long I have been being deprived of them. I guess I just can't win.

After going gluten-free I found I was reacting badly to soy too. It's a bit harder to find vitamins without soy because they like to use it for vitamin E..and sometimes for D3, but they're worth looking for IMO.

It's a good idea to keep a log of everything you eat and note any symptoms you feel. Many food intolerances have delayed reactions, so having a way to look back and see a pattern is very helpful. With a bit of detective work yopu can figure out what to avoid.

Once you heal, you may be able to add things back into your diet.

Yeah I will start a food diary that is a great idea. Man that made me SOO sick. After I posted this I ended up throwing up and getting a horrible migraine. I have never gotten that sick that fast from something before.... I hope that does not happen again anytime soon. I think I will just avoid soy for awhile. Thanks for the info.

I hope that soy is the answer for you. I had problems with vitamins, and I don't have a problem with soy. A food journal really helps.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
