I need to supplement my vitamin intake and was told AG1 was a good product. I checked their website and they claim to be gluten-free, but I see that barley is one of the ingredients. If the product is gluten-free how can it safely contain barley?
@nataliallano, whatever else can be said, you need to get serious about eating gluten free. Lots of people with celiac disease are like you. We call them "silent celiacs". They have few or no GI symptoms and falsely assume no damage is being done to their body by continuing to consume gluten. Neurological damage is one of them.
Good day,
From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive given that they had gone gluten free for less than 2 years or so, and especially if they had not been careful about cross-contamination or had cheat days? The criteria for the gluten challenge makes it seems like the possibility of false negative is high in general.
Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.
Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.
Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency. Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss. Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health. Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.
