Hi, i have a question not exactly to do with gluten, but i want to know if anyone ever experienced taking vitamins that worked for a 2-3 weeks an d then they stopped having benefits.I also had similiar expereince whith homeopathy, it works great after 3 weeks of starting it and after others 3 weeks the effects are gone.

What do you mean by you stop seeing benefits? Did you developed gluten type symptoms that had been gone for a bit? If that is what you mean have you checked to make sure those supplements were gluten free? Some will have barley or wheat grass that many be considered safe but that many of us will react to. Avoid them. As far as homeopathics go, I have not found any that I can safely use. Although gluten derived alcohol is considered gluten free I still react to it even in the small amounts in the preperations. Not all will but enough of us do to make me encourage folks to avoid it until fully healed.

what do you mean by "stopped working"? Have you had blood tests that revealed vitimin deficiency despite taking vitimin supplements?

I would have to ask what you mean by "benefits." Are you talking about vitamins treating nutrient deficiency as a benefit? Or are you talking about vitamins making you feel "good"? Vitamins may make you feel "healthier" at first, but even when that feeling wears off, they should still be doing their job, which is to supplement your diet and make sure that you're getting the nutrients you need each day. Feeling "good" from taking vitamins is nice, but it certainly doesn't last forever, and it's not the reason we usually take vitamins. You may not always feel the benefits of vitamins, but they are doing their job in your body.

Good luck!

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
