Be Sure To Take Your Vitamins!

One important addition to any gluten intolerant persons diet is a multivitamin.  Before figuring out that you had celiac disease, your body was unable to absorb the necessary nutrients from foods because of the damage the gluten protein caused in your intestines. As with anything you're ingesting, you need to read the label!  Some multivitamins may contain gluten!  Some specifically say they are free of gluten while others just list the ingredients.  If you're not sure, ask a representative at a health/vitamin store.  Most grocery store employees will unlikely know what you're talking about, let alone that there's something called celiac disease or gluten intolerance.  I've tried a GNC brand multivitamin for women but recently found a cheaper one at my local grocery store that specifically states it is free of gluten, among other things you don't want to be ingesting.  It's by Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems.  Check back later for more yummy recipes!
