Which supplement brands are the best? And where do you purchase yours?

I take Radiance Chelated Zinc, 50mg.

I think I got it at a chain drugstore - Long's or Walgreen's.

I use Nature Made. All of their vitamins and supplements say "Gluten Free" right on the bottle. You can buy them at almost any pharmacy. CVS and Rite-Aid sometimes have them on sale (buy one/get one free or buy one get one 1/2 off). You can even earn "Wellness Rewards" coupons by entering the code number on the bottle. I got a $5.00 off coupon with the last code I entered.

I saw one from NOW Foods which is Zinc Picolinate. They state gluten-free as well as dairy free, soy free, etc, etc on the bottle. This form is one of the better ones from what I've read.

Both NOW and Source Naturals have a policy of labeling there stuff with a "free from" list. It's nice to see gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, soy-free, etc. Also, NOW Foods customer support is about the fastest I've ever seen. I've actually gotten answers back in like 20 minutes.

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      It was the tTG iga. The first test the range was that it needed to be under .05 and hers was .9 The repeat was a different lab and it said normal was 0-3 and hers was 109. The first test was part of a free study our DR recommended be celiac seemed unlikely at the time. Of course now it all comes together! So hers would have been 18x the upper limit on the first test and then even more on the second one if I'm doing the math right. The tests were a few months apart because it took a long time to get the first one back.

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @lizzie42! Can you also supply the reference range for that celiac antibody test? Each lab uses its own reference ranges for the celiac antibody tests so we can't comment otherwise until we know. And was that the TTG-IGA? There is also a TTG-IGG celiac antibody test. There is a growing tendency for physicians to forego the endoscopy/biopsy when the tTG-IGA score is quite high. In the UK the that is 10x the high end of the normal range but different docs here in the USA may have their own protocols and not all of them will bypass the endoscopy/biopsy regardless of the blood test score. I also think docs are generally reluctant to do scopes on small...

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      My 3yo was just diagnosed after months of iron supplements barely bringing up her ferritin. I say diagnosed but it's not official yet. Her tTG was 109, her ema was positive. Also she has a vitamin d deficiency in addition to the anemia. She also has the rash. It's been a rough road the last year and a half with her behavior and health and I'm relieved to have an answer.  Is she going to have to have a biopsy with numbers like that? I want to just start gluten-free immediately but waiting to try and schedule with a pediatric GI doctor. It will have to be remote because there isn't one here.  I hate having an answer but still feeding her gluten.  Also, how can I help her rash? We've used aquaphor...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      If I may put my two cents in here . . . Coffee (caffeine) is a double-edged sword when it comes to headaches. It can relieve them (that's why caffeine is put in many over the counter pain relievers) but it can also cause them - particularly if you consume coffee/tea/soda often and regularly and then are in a situation where you have to go without it for a longer stretch than you are used to. Those who suffer from migraines may likely be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine or the withdrawal of it I'm thinking. And then there is the potential negative impact caffeine can have on sleep patterns for many people. Disruption of sleep patterns is also a migraine trigger for some. I speak...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Hello Knitty Kitty, Many thanks for asking about my progress.  Its mixed....  I've been taking Benfotiamine since November.  I started on 300mg, but I didn't notice any change.  Increased to 900mb in 300mg tablets throughout the day and initially it seemed to be a cure.  But then the Hypoglycaemia and migraines started to return...it's really very difficult for me to control my diet.  I'm still taking the Benfotiamine but I now take the Benfotiamine in the evening and usually about 600mg after my early evening meal.  I'm still very sensitive to carbs and especially alcohol and sugar, which makes any social activity really difficult especially in the evenings and having to avoid all gluten as...
