Vitamins

I am looking for some good vitamins, I've heard prenatal vitamins are really good (as long as they are gluten-free) and I was wondering if a lack of iron can make you cold? I am always cold and I don't know if it’s that or if it’s because I just have bad blood circulation?! I do, however, get really hot when I eat gluten, my face gets flushed and I get the chills (I kind of feel like I have the flu). Can anyone else relate? Oh and my hair starts to fall out if I eat gluten, what’s up with that? Is it a nutrient thing? I have so much to learn…lol…thanks guys for any input!

I think it is. i have been FREEZINg for the lasy year since I developed the symptoms of Celiac's. I just got my blood test results back and I have very little iron! I just started taking my multi-vitamin again (my stomach couldn't handle it for awhile) and it seems to be getting a bit better. Last winter I had to wear termal underwear 24/7.

GNC has a great iron supplement. It is called Ironchel 18. It is pretty easy on the stomach.

I have problems with low iron and always cold. I've been told that the iron that is easiest for your body to use is ferrous fumerate. That came from a pharmacist. And your hair falling out after gluten - gluten causes major stress for your body and the hair falling out is a symptom of the stress, and the fact that your villi are damaged by gluten and so can't properly absorb nutrients. So stay gluten free - obsessively even.

I know that low iron makes you cold--I always take Nature Made Woman +50 and I grabbed the one without iron in it and didnt realize it--its called Woman 50+. I couldnt figure out why I was so cold and tired all the time. So, yeah, iron does that. Gointribal, why would you eat gluten for any reason if you know you must be gluten-free. Save your hair and your health--no gluten--ok. Deb

Berneses, I saw that you were from Portsmouth, NH! I from Epsom, NH, great to hear from a fellow New Hampshirite! Deb, you're right I should stay away from gluten, however, I don't even know if I have celiac?! So often I feel like its all in my head, my blood test came back normal, exept for a percentage (which I didn't really understand) and its not until Feb when I go in for my EDG. Waiting has been the hardest part :(

If your hair falls out when you eat gluten, I would think that is enough to tell you that you shouldn't eat gluten.

My blood test came back negative, but all my symtoms went away after I stopped eating gluten (I started on the diet after the blood test but before I got the results). I don't care what the tests say; I don't want to be sick again. I have felt so good lately that I have wondered if I'm imagining how bad I used to feel. I almost want to have a big bowl of pasta just to confirm to myself that this is really my problem, but then some part of me knows I will get really, really sick and it isn't worth it.

I'm having an endoscopy this week (for another reason) and while they are down there I asked them to check for celiac. Since my blood test was negative, I'm thinking the biopsy will be too, but I'm still sticking with my diet.

Once I feel much better we are going to try to get pregnant. I went ahead and started on the prenatal vitamins because I figured my body could use the boost. I wouldn't think that it would hurt to take them. My health food store thought it was a good idea. I am still always cold and I live in Florida. I keep a heating pad in the living room and turn it on when I'm watching tv, even when it is 70 outside. I hope that gets better.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
