Maybe its a silly question :) but if you have taken the multis from Freeda--how big are the tablets? I hate swallowing pills and don't want to order their multis if they are flippin' huge! Thanks :)

Jenvan - I bought them online from the company when i first found out i had celiac. they make my stomach a little uneasy because they have such high levels of a couple of things in them...i got the one a day kind. i think they're probably great but i prefer to stick with centrum...(and they're rather big - they make your pee super yellow too because they have lots of vitamin B in them :D )

Mike and I use the Multi Vitamins (Freeda) and I do not like large sized pills either. THe freeda aren't too bad, I can get it down without choking.

With a lot of pills, I wish they'd make them smaller and I'd take 2 at a time instead of one big one. I frustrates me and I think of the elderly, a lot of them cannot take large pills (esp. women) and they would benefit from vitamins. (Case in point is my mother in law). So because the pills are too hard to swallow, they don't take vitamins.

Thanks for the input... I did notice Freeda has their "tiny" size vitamin...I could pop a couple of those a day. Maybe I'll see how "tiny" they are! I do like the liquid vitamins...had one I loved, but couldn't trust it was gluten-free. Tried GNC's liquid multi--I thought the taste was so rancid, I literally felt nauseated every morning I took them. Deb--You take the regular multi?

Thought I'd answer my post in case anyone else ever had the question. I did get Freeda's max vitamin and mineral-Quintabs-M, and the pills are not large at all. They have a bit of a football shape to them and are easy to swallow---woo hoo!

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By MHavoc · Posted

      As with most of the people that come here, I have questions and need perspective/info from this wonderful community.  Some background, started having severe constipation that would not abate even with softners (not really fun to talk about), so I was able to finally get in to see my primary and she scheduled some blood work.  One of things she wanted to test for is Celiac Disease due to my sister having celiac disease since a young child. Here are my test results: MCHC = 31.4 so considered slightly low TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 78.8 H So with that result, I was scheduled for an endoscope for confirmation of celiac disease, but I am very confused with the results: Diagnosis 1. Duodenum, biopsy: -No pathologic alteration. 2. Stomach, biopsy: -Mild chronic inflammation with reactive epithelial change -H. pylori not identified on immunostained section. -No intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia I am now scheduled to meet with a GI Specialist from the Celiac team, but that won't be until after the New Year.  I would appreciate thoughts about the biopsy report to understand whether it confirms the celiac disease as was indicated by the blood test results. I have been gluten free for two weeks and it is a very difficult adjustment for me as an older 50+ person.

      Anyone else have intermittent left ear ringing and outer right ear pain? Both seem to happen in the evenings.

      If your son eventually becomes very symptomatic, that in itself will help keep him on the diet.  I had a friend who was diagnosed roughly the same time as me and she used to tell me a lot that she could get away with eating certain gluten containing foods.  (Not a good thing to do, but she did all the same).  In time she was unable to tolerate them anymore,  and is now very strict with her diet.   The football situation with the candy:   here in the UK at least, a lot of mainstream chocolate bars and sweets don't actually contain gluten (Bounty Bar, Snickers, Cadbury's Whirl, Crunchie etc) and you may find that that is the case where you live.
