Hi Daphne,

I have deficiencies as well, but also issues digesting vitamins. I’ve had the best luck with Dr. Axe. You can get them online. I also get my bone broth there. Ideally, the best source of nutrients is from a balanced diet from whole foods.  I have malabsorption so I’m using the bone broth for healing my GI. Organic super greens powder is another good source of nutrients. 

Hope that helps.

Certified to be under 20 ppm or 5ppms? Do you know does it say on the website ? I can't handle any more the 5 ppms right now I'm to sick

The certifying organization certifies to 10ppm.  That doesn’t mean all the vitamins have 10ppm, it means that is the maximum amount they might have.  They might also have 0ppm but the analytical methods can’t verify that. However, it is not the ppm but the total amount of trace gluten ingested that causes problems for us super sensitives. Vitamin pills are pretty small compared to a serving of a food, so even if a pill contained 10ppm of gluten that would be a tiny amount. It would be micrograms, not milligrams.

Naturemade has a pretty good gluten-free vitamin D pill.

Consider just taking the vitamins you know you are deficient in (B-12 and vitamin D).  That way you can have fewer ingredients to worry about.  I suggest that the B-12 be sublingual (dissolves under the tongue).  Be sure it is methylated too.  

Ask your pharmacist for help in selecting a gluten free version or the right D or B-12.  In the meantime, take in a few minutes of sunshine with a walk!  ?

      Inconclusive biopsy results

      By trents · Posted

      In the time leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing, attempt to consume at least 10g of gluten daily, about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. Concerning the two antibody tests I suggested, the "total IGA" is not a test per se to detect celiac disease but to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the test scores for individual IGA tests will be artificially low and can generate false negatives. The TTG-IGA test is the most popular test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease, and considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing, but it is not the only one. Ideally, others would be ordered but cost containment in medicine being what it is, physicians seldom order a "full celiac panel" at the outset. Here is an overview of the tests that can be run:

      Thanks for the reply, I will ask for the antibody test. FODMAP does not eliminate gluten so it shouldn’t affect the results.

      I would ask to have celiac antibody blood tests done. These tests would not be valid, however, unless you were eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks or months leading up to the blood draw. So, not sure how the FODMAP diet figures into that. Ask for a minimum of 1. total IGA and 2. TTG-IGA. "Villi are swollen, congested, and shorter." "Moderate chronic duodenitis with loss of villi." These two lab findings you list are classic signs of celiac disease but can also have other causes.

      Inhaler problem

      I never said anesthesia. Medical companies can of course change their ingredients at anytime. What may be listed as gluten free on a website may not be updated so always good to check with pharmacy or the medical company itself.

      So there can be gluten in pain meds, but I've never heard of it in anesthesia before. Do you have any more info on this claim, perhaps a link to a source?
