Hi - can people help please? I am a relative newbie to this site and condition, I am 46 and have been diagnosed 5/6 weeks ago with coeliac disease. I am really worried about continual exhaustion and have asked for blood tests off my doctors until I am blue in the face and exaserbated. What would you ask for them to check and what could I take in terms of supplements that are safe. I am vegetarian and have HUGE problems swallowing big capsules etc. I want to try to repair my health but am unsure where to start. Can anyone help me please? It's all so confusing??

Magnesium, Calcium which has Vit D in it, (but don't take these together - take calcium earlier in the day and magnesium before you sleep..) Vitamin B and zinc. Also a probiotic (Restore)
