Welcome to the forum!

There are some brand names that I have taken that are gluten free... 

Doctor's Best, Now, Nature Made.

Just be sure to double check the label.  

I take my Magnesium Glycinate with Tryptophan (a form of Niacin that helps make serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter).  

Theanine, found in chocolate and Oolong tea, helps you relax and aids sleep, too.

How long have you been diagnosed?

Thanks, was diagnosed in January this year.

I don’t have trouble falling asleep, just really struggling to stay asleep longer than 4 or 5 hours. 

I’m not sure if this sleep issue is related to celiac or if it’s the result of having 2 children under 8 who have never been the best of sleepers. 
 

I’m UK based.

Hi, @WorrisomeOwl,

Have your children been tested for Celiac Disease, too?  CeD is genetic and can be passed on.  All first degree relatives (siblings and parents) should be tested as well.

Is your household gluten free?

Spoke to the consultant and a gp and they said there was no real need to test the children, as they are healthy and developing.

With regards to household being gluten free, no it isn’t, as it’s not really practical. However I’m very thorough and have own pans, cutlery etc.

I have my check up after 6 months and my bloods have shown dramatic improvement, so I’m not being glutened accidentally.

But if anyone from the Uk can recommend a magnesium brand, then that would be much appreciated.

Having the genes for Celiac Disease means a person has the potential to develop Celiac Disease.  The genes have to be triggered and turned on by an event, commonly an infection with a virus, a traumatic injury, a stressful life event.  

Starting a gluten free diet in children and adults with the Celiac genes, but not active Celiac Disease, is beneficial and could postpone the potential triggering of those Celiac genes into active disease.

Have you tried Magnesium Threonate?  It's a form of magnesium that gets into the brain easily and is very relaxing.  

Perhaps our UK ambassador @cristiana can help.

No I haven’t tried it.

I’m just struggling to find a trusted brand here. There are a lot of them available on Amazon that say gluten free, but as far as I can tell they aren’t well known reputable brands.

Hence why I was looking to see if there was anyone who could recommend one that they’ve perhaps taken.

I know you asked about magnesium glycinate (and I'd love to hear from you the reasons you are choosing this form), but just putting in my experience here, I take mag citrate, and because I try not to buy too much plastic, I had to look for it in glass bottles and came across the brand Bluebonnet, which I'm generally impressed with. But again, would love to know advantages of magnesium glycinate especially versus the citrate (and I'm well aware of the most common side effect that people site with magnesium supplementation!).

Good luck!

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack ...

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overa...

      Juce Super Fruit & Veggie Vitamin Blend

      Yes, I don't recommend barley or wheat grass, even though technically speaking if it's made using ONLY the pure grass it is gluten-free, however, I've witnessed them make it at Jamba Juice and the seeds/kernels often get mixed into the grass before they juice it, so in that case would not be safe.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
