Do you need to take mineral-vitamin supplements? Yes, I believe that you do. There are vast numbers of studies that report the many benefits of additional minerals and vitamins to your diet. In the context of Coeliac Disease, your gut was not working properly. This means that the absorption of foods, minerals and vitamins is suboptimal (poor). This means that slowly, but surely, deficiencies of many of your key nutrients develop. The outcome can be iron deficiency, anaemia, osteoporosis, vitamin deficiency, immuno-deficiencies, neurological damage, and the list can go on. Instead of waiting for these manifestations to occur, it would be wise to reverse these shortfalls immediately and before they show up as clinical problems. I recommend that everyone with a gluten sensitivity, should take a high quality mineral-vitamin supplement for at least six months (and maybe life long). There is a lot of data that recommends life-time supplementation if you want to ensure robust health and longevity.
