Vitamin Code Raw Supplements


Mom-of-Two

Recommended Posts

Nearly 4 months gluten free, I need iron, folate, vitamin D, and B12 up a bit- I am just under the low on iron and folate, she says not low on D ans B12 even though my D is 36 and B12 is in mid 300's (I consider those both very low!) I should clarify that I am NOT low due to malabsorption, my numbers were normal at time of diagnosis! She says when I cut all the grains, those common vitamins went too.

I have tried a few supplements that I just find hard to take! Ick! My good friend takes the raw vitamins by Garden of Life, they have a raw iron, a B complex which would include my folate, and a separate B12. These are foods, so apparently very bioactive and easily absorbed and used by the body.

Will this raise my levels, I prefer them to synthetic vitamins. I am doing my best to up veggies, nuts, etc in my diet.

I was taking the B-complex.... I didn't notice a difference between these and ones that were about half the cost.

I actually came across Country Life coenzyme B complex and it apears to have everything I wanted, they have an easy iron too that looks good.

I took the women's multivitamin that had a probiotic in it. I didn't really notice a difference. It was very expensive and kept burping them up, tasted like seaweed. It was very gross. I stopped taking them because I couldn't stand the seaweed taste anymore.

Wow, thank you!!

I think I will go with the coenzyme B complex I mentioned from Country Life.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
