Mine went to a lab and were back within a week.

My ressults came in negative but when I asked for the numbers, the only number I was given was 254. What number is this and can I go by just this number?

I do have an endo scheduled on the 18th and I plan on talking to the doctor more then, it's a pain getting him on the phone.

Every lab uses a different measuring scale for celiacs, so the number itself doesn't mean anything unless accompanied by the lab's definition of what is normal. You would be best to ask for a hard copy of your blood results from your doctor. You can then take it with you to your endo appointment.

He's doing the endo so I'll just get it then, he should have my file I would think?

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought another doctor was handling your endo, but if it is the same one he definitely will have your blood work on file.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By llisa · Posted

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.

      Not sure if it's the same formulation as what they sell to Costco. Look for "Gluten Free" on the packaging. And realize that "Gluten Free" does not mean "no gluten". It simply means not more than 20 ppm of gluten. That's fine for most celiacs but if you are of the super sensitive subset it may not be.

      Trents: I read the label and it does say gluten-free. I have used these before, so will be getting some from our local Jewel. Bonus: they are Buy One Get One right now! Thanks.

      Thank you. Not near a Costco. Near Jewel, Kroger, Walgreens,  Walmart,  Aldi's.  I just looked, and Jewel carries a Nature Made vitamin line. I wonder if it's the same?
