Hello,

Has anyone noticed an increase of acid reflux with gluten intolerance ? Also to help with the vitamin defiencies is a Pure Whey a good thing to utilize ? Also any idea how long you would take the Vitamin B & D replacements ???

Have a good day.

Hi Bob,

I am not a supplement guru, but I will comment on the acid reflux part of your question. In my own experience, and I've read others' accounts as well, low acid may be an issue. You know your situation best, but many people with low acid are put on acid blockers (because the symptoms of low acid are similar to those of too much acid), which can exacerbate digestive disequilibrium.

That said, I've heard of two things that could help with too much acid: If you can handle almonds, I know several people who swear by eating a small handful before each meal. Also, if you can handle dairy, having a small glass of milk before bed may help. A celiac friend of mine who barely consumes dairy was doubtful of the milk at bedtime remedy suggested by her doctor, but it has made a huge difference.

That's interesting about the milk. When I had stomach ulcers and a hiatal hernia the doctors and pharmacist told me to lay off milk. I refused because a milkshake calmed my stomach down. They always gave me a weird look about that one.

Thanks for the input I will try the milk, has anyone heard of a test to see if you have to much or to little acid ?

I think a self test is if food sits in your stomach, too little acid. Other than that I don't know.

As far as how long to take vitamins - did you have your levels tested? Mine tested low and I'm testing every 6-4 months.

Whey is milk protein. Do you need protein? Can you eat meat or beans?

I was surprised about the milk suggestion too, but hey, if it works! And a milkshake is even better! :)

Well I am told that I need the Whey powder as I am deficient in proteins ands I am not absorbing enough nutrients. I do eat red meat twice a week. The beans not so much, I am trying to get into the taste of them but yuck....

Well, if you need protein and can't/won't eat meat/beans then it's an option. Be careful, since it is a milk product - and some Celiacs have a problem with milk. If you have problems with your stomach that won't go away, you may try dropping milk for a while.

I know there are threads on here about protein powders, you may search for them. I don't have experience with them.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
