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!

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make.

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
