People with a wheat allergy and celiac have a lot of vitamin deficiencies. Our bodies do not absorb nutrients well, so it is important for us to take adequate supplements. What many gluten free-ers don’t know is that there is a supplement out there to help you absorb nutrients. It’s called L-glutamine. It is an amino acid that is a very important for repairing damage and rebuilding the integrity of the cells that line the intestines. I use the powdered kind and just drink it. It doesn’t taste like anything and it’s a miracle supplement that saves my life. I have a vitamin D deficiency, take loads of B-12, magnesium and iron, but since I don’t absorb well, it seem pointless to take the pills. The L-glutamine coats your stomach, allowing food and supplements to do their job. It also helps a lot to prevent being glutened. It’s true remarkable and I highly recommend it.
Here are the top supplements that you as a gluten free-er should be taking:
1. Glutamine
2. Vitamin D
3. Magnesium
4. Active probiotics
5. B-12 complex
