Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease where the surface of
the small intestine that absorbs nutrients from food is damaged by a substance
called gluten.
This wreaks havoc on vitamin levels in your body, so am aggressive
vitamin plan is necessary if you want to keep your gains or losses moving
forward.
Here is what I’m currently taking. After about 3 months I plan on getting the
levels of these tested to see where I stand and what adjustments I should make.
L-Glutamine ---helps
protect and repair intestinal lining and beneficial for the stresses involved
in weight training.
Digestive enzymes---to
aid digestion.
Probiotics---to
aid digestion.
Calcium/magnesium/zinc---healthy
bones, immune system function.
Vitamin B-12/B
complex---production of red blood cells, aids nervous system.
Vitamin C---immune
system health.
Vitamin D---helps
with calcium absorption, immune system health.
Creatine---improves
performance, aids in muscle recovery.
I didn't get too crazy with the explanations for each of
these but the idea here is to get normal levels of these to assist in my training
goals as well as normal function of my immune system. For starters I’m taking the recommended doses
of each except for Vitamin C which I do take 2000mg per day. I’ve done this for quite a long time and even
through these health issues have only had 1 flu in the past 5 years or so.
