4. Take Vitamin and Mineral Supplements

Depending on the severity of your condition, you may have to treat the symptom of malabsorption. Your doctor will recommend you take vitamins and minerals to replace the nutrients you are lacking. Iron, calcium, fiber, zinc, magnesium, and folate are just a few minerals that need a boost. Your body may have trouble absorbing vitamin B-12, vitamin D, and vitamin K, too. Even after the lining of the small intestine is healed, you might have to continue taking vitamins and minerals because a strict gluten-free diet can lack in complete nutrition. Before you start taking any supplements, make sure you talk to your doctor to find a multivitamin that does not use gluten as the binding agent.
