Supplementation is vital while on a gluten-free diet due to a range of mineral and vitamin deficiencies, but we can fight it together with a healthy, balanced and planned out diet.
As you may or may not know, those with celiac disease and quite often those with gluten intolerance can suffer deficiencies from malnutrition due to their small intestines not being able to absorb nutrients from various food sources efficiently. It’s quite common with those diagnosed. Most people are commonly deficient in vitamin B, vitamin D, riboflavin, niacin, folate, zinc, calcium, magnesium, fiber, iron as well as protein and calories, with less common of deficiencies in copper and vitamin b6.
We advise you to run some tests to determine your nutrient levels to see where you can improve.
General Health
Vitamins and minerals, known as micronutrients are essential to our body as they perform various crucial roles in keeping us healthy, such as protecting us against diseases, healing wounds, boosting the immune system, converting food into energy and hundreds of other tasks, and even though we only need small amounts of it we end up forgetting their importance.
Taking multivitamins will leave you feeling fresh, energized and better overall, especially while your microvilli are in the process of being healed.

Studies estimate that more than fifty percent of patients diagnosed with celiac disease have iron deficiency. Iron is essential for healthy development and growth of the body as it metabolizes proteins and has helped to produce red blood cells and hemoglobin. Without low levels of Iron people can experience anemia and other conditions like coughing, weakness, headaches and more.
Garden of Life Iron Complex
It’s important to get proper amounts of iron to help strengthen the immune system, brain function, oxygen transport which is the main benefit of a healthy diet high in iron, the hemoglobin formation which is the main carrier of oxygen to the entire human body, and various other benefits like anemia deficiency and creating energy from nutrients.
Iron supplements should be taken on an empty stomach as the food sometimes decreases the amount of iron the body can absorb, and since those with celiac already have trouble absorbing nutrients and minerals, it will only make it worse.
Calcium, ultimately known for promoting bone health all throughout your life, building and maintaining it. Muscles, nerves, and your heart also required the proper amount of calcium to function as the human body doesn’t produce it. There are a lot of food sources that have a good amount of calcium, but when you’re unable to provide your body with enough calcium from food sources, supplementation comes in handy.
