Hey guys,

Since I was recently diagnosed, I started taking some vitamin supplements, and the Nature Made line (which can be found in CVS, Target, and most regular stores) will specifically say that there is no gluten in the product, if that is in fact the case. So I am taking their Multivitamin, Calcium (since I cut back on Dairy) and a B-complex with folic acid.

Here's my real question... I've heard of the benefits of probiotics, and Nature Made has an Acidophilus product. I can't find it in any stores and I'd like to order it online. However, at the Nature Made website, I can't figure out if it is gluten free or not. Is anyone using this line of probiotic? Can anyone confirm if it IS or IS NOT gluten free? I'd hate to order it and find out it's not when it arrives.

Thanks!
Joe

I use Nature Made products all of the time. If you log into their website, you can register to earn points towards future purchases. I just got a $5.00 coupon in the mail for the next time I buy vitamins.
