I take 100 units of Vitamin E daily. Unless one eats a lot of nuts and
seeds one is deficient in this vitamin. How can you tell? Where you
sore the day after you did a lot of physical exertion? (An example
being going skiing.) That muscle soreness is from a vitamin E
deficiency. Generally vitamin fanatics will take 400 units daily, which
sounds like a lot more than could be ingested if one ate *only* nuts
and seeds. 1000 units daily can have serious side effects.

I'd like to take calcium but am now eating spinach almost every day
(from the Pakistan take-out) and haven't done much about figuring out
which were GF.

If *100%* GF, everything returns to normal and supplement concerns
should be the same as for non-celiacs.

Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the small intestine - right where
the villi are/were damaged. Water-soluble are absorbed elsewhere.
