Living with autoimmune diseases can be tough and you never know how you’ll feel day-to-day. But you can take some steps to make sure you’re keeping yourself on the right track as best you can. Diet should always be number. Learn what works for your body, and stick to it. Make sure you eat as well-rounded and balanced as you can, even with your restrictions. Get as much physical activity as possible as well. Fuel + movements + sleep too! You need to get those snooze hours so your body can heal and repair and be batter at functioning with its autoimmunity. With all that said, you may consider taking a few supplements and vitamins to give you a little extra boost and insurance. I’m not big on taking tons of supplements, but I do have a few favorites I always take or have taken in the past, while trying to heal some of my autoimmune conditions.

With that said, finding supplements you can trust and are pure and safe can be difficult sometimes. With such a sensitive microbiome, the supplements and vitamins I take must be free from allergens, hypoallergenic, non-gmo, nothing artificial, no fillers, nothing scary. A brand I personally trust is Pure Encapsulations. They put a check by all my requirements and I feel safe taking them as a supplement to my diet. What makes Pure Encapsulations even more trusted is that they are only available through your participating healthcare practitioner. With your personal doctors okay, you’ll know you are receiving the best and only what you need.

For me, I focus on supplements for good gut health. Some of my favorites and standbys have become part of my daily regimen and I’ve been taking for years.

1. Probiotics – It’s essential to get as much good bacteria in my gut as I can. I never go a day without my probiotic supplement. The good bacteria my gut needs for healthy, happy functioning!

2. L-Glutamine – I started taking this because it helps with tissue repair, gastrointestinal tract support, and for natural defense system function. Healing my gut is still a work in progress and any little “extra” that may benefit, I’ll gladly try!

3. Magnesium– This helps the gut use enzymes to break down foods and digest. Easier digestion is another great thing for my body. It keeps things going and moving along through the digestive track!

4. Vitamin D – Along with the calcium supplement I take that has Vitamin D in it, I also take a pure vitamin D-3 supplement as well. It’s essential for absorption and muscle function!

5. Slippery Elm – I’m not currently taking this, but it’s actually one of my favorite supplements (I ran out and haven’t gotten anymore). Slippery Elm is for soothing the digestive track and reduces inflammation. It’s really great for those with autoimmune disease like Celiac, IBD, or even IBS.

6. B Vitamins – Personally I only take a small amount of extra B-12. However, B vitamins are said to be good for helping the body form red blood cells and extracting the energy from the food we eat more easily.

I’m always willing to try something that is pure and safe to help my digestion in any way. We all have different conditions, lifestyles, needs, etc., so finding a company like Pure Encapsulations who makes just about every supplement and vitamin you could ever need is a wonderful thing! If I’m going to take a supplement to help heal my digestion, I want one that won’t cause it more problems because of how it’s manufactured and produced!

So tell me:

+ Do you have any favorite supplements you take for digestion?

+ What do you look for in your supplement brands?

    I always hear about getting your probiotics for a happy tummy, but it’s always in yogurt commercials. I never thought of taking a supplement to getting them. I think I’ll have to look into trying this. I know for some people getting extra fiber upsets the tummy, but I found that taking fiber supplements (in addition to my natural fiber intake) seems to help my tummy function better. Thanks for sharing this list. I’m going to do some more research on some of these.

    I’m always sceptical about supplements. You read that they are a must and then you read they are a waste of time. I like the idea of a pure supplement. Thanks for your post which was very informative about what each of the supplements provide.

    I’ve just started taking a bunch of supplements. I never was really concerned but now I’m getting older and finding them to be a necessary part of life. I’m still learning about probiotics.

    I too rely mostly on diet for my healthcare, but I recently got sick and while I asked for no antibiotics my throat was so swollen I was afraid. It certainly didn’t help my already sensitive gluten-sensitive belly, although I only got one shot. I have been intending on getting back into magnesium supplementation anyway but I need to look into slippery elm and probiotics as well. I also totally agree with the woman who mentioned getting a blood test. I love the idea of this brand of supplements sounds perfect! Found you on SITS!

      Probiotics are something I think everyone should take! Good bacteria is a must for a healthy gut and so safe!

    Hi Rebeca,
    Good article.
    If you have quite a few food allergies or any autoimmune disease it can be crucial that you take certain supplements .
    I totally agree with you about supplements – there are so many of them that have toxic fillers and additives in them. I use some of the Pure Encapsulations & I also Thorne brand. You can purchase both of these brands from Pure Formulas which you can find on line.

    I only take one supplement (magnesium) after having a HORRIBLE experience with them in the past. A few years ago I lost all feeling in my arms and legs and doctors thought the worst, searching for a brain tumour, only to find that I actually had a B6 toxicity that was causing sensory neuropathy! Apparently my body doesn’t just flush out b vitamins like everyone else!

    Now I always recommend my family and friends get blood work to find out what they actually need first (and don’t listen to shonky doctors who say otherwise, ha!)

      Yea, that’s why things like VITAMINS, specifically B vitamins, should never be taken in excess and always by your dr. People can really screw up that way.

      One thing I’ll never take…a multivitamin! Such a waste and so ineffective! Just eat food 😛
