I took a look at it but I can get gluten free vitamins at the same levels from my local grocery store for much, much less expense.

Do they also include the extra ingredients like the Probiotics and glutamine? What brands are you refering to? I am having trouble finding a good multi.

Me to. Thats why I asked about it. One vitamin with probiotics, digestive enzymes and extra vitamins and lipids for ciliac deficiencies in one pill. I would like to know what you use cuz this gluten free organic diet is expensive.

I eat enough saurkraut and yogurt and don't need probiotics. I use NOW brand, Solgar for a stress level B and sometimes Country Life. My multi is a store brand, Wegmans.

The pills are large and hard to swallow for some. Plus you need to take 6 of them a day. Them seem to work for some members of my family but others aren't so sure. Also, the pills have no iron (apparently some celiacs can't handle it), so if you need iron you have to take it separately.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
