I like Solgar vitamins myself. I mostly get individual vitamins or 1 / 2 combos, like D and calcium. I have some Pioneer brand multi Vits but am not taking those much. Read the thread linked below to see why. They have a lot of Vitamin A in them and that may not be a good thing for celiacs.

Good info... thanks for the post. I'll have to check the Members Mark, but I don't think the Vitamin A was high in those. :)

Kirkland brand by Costco!

Absolutely the cheapest, highest quality you can buy for a "regular" line of vitamins. Unless you want to spend 3-5x more for basically the same ingredients.

They have different varieties and are Gluten free.

I use Garden of Life Vitamin Code liquid.

I'm recently diagnosed and still have absorption issues and a liquid multi is easier for me.

It tastes rather nasty by itself, but I mix it with my other liquid supplements and a bit of juice and that makes it ok.

I also tested positive to casein, eggs, soy, yeast and had to change most of my supplements

From their website:

I get my vitamins from Puritan's Pride. They're very good about labeling when their products are gluten-free whether directly on the bottle or online. And they have a really great deal where you buy 2, get one free.

Actually that's a typical CYA statement and true for many products we use all the time. So I'll continue to take my Centrum Silver. I know we take chances buying a lot of things and this is just one of them...we each have to make that decision every day.

Hey Sylvia, I just had a thought. I read your post about your antibodies being higher than you had hoped. Maybe the Centrum taken daily is your culprit!? :blink::o

I have no clue. I don't know what's normal for antibody levels for someone my age who's been gluten-free for 9 months. Actually one year today!!!

I'm super sensitive to gluten. Tried Centrum Advance New Formula yesterday after pharmacist looked up msds sheet and said they should be fine, had worst case of glutening since going gluten free four months ago. They don't specify where their starches are derived from. This is in Australia.

Have tried the Swisse multi labelled "gluten free" a month ago and had a milder case of glutening, nowhere near as bad as Centrum though. Nevertheless not worth taking them for me.

Just ordered the GNC Women's to give them a go... Spending a lot on multi's so I'm hoping this one is ok :) of course I could be reacting to something else. Definitely need magnesium as I get muscle cramping/spasms fairly frequently now. I just wonder what else I might be low in, so keep searching for a multi rather than individual vitamins at the moment.

Here are some of the vitamins I take. And my nails are looking fabulous! :)

GNC Ultra Women's Active Multi vitamin

Vitafusion Gummy Vitamins - Vitamin C 250 (Target has this brand or you could buy them on-line)

Vitafusion Gummy Vitamins - Calcium 500 with vitamin D 1,000

I just wanted to add that after taking the GNC Womens vitamins for a month I got really sick. So sick that my doctor's thought I had lymphoma and I had to had a lymph node removed for a biopsy. I had to completely stop all of them and start from scratch. The GNC vitamins were the newest vitamins I started to take, but I really suspect it was the Vitafusion vitamins, but I'm not 100% sure. I was taking them for months and then all the sudden they changed the label, but I called and they told me there weren't any changes in the product, so I really trusted this company. As soon as I figured out it was the vitamins, I stopped them and started to get better.

Please be careful with any vitamin even if it says it's gluten free. I had to learn the hard way.

I recently started Kirkman Labs multi vitamin just 8 days ago. Even though I eat healthy I'm still low on some of my vitamins. So far I haven't had any reactions to them and I'm super sensitive. Plus I do keep a food diary.

I, probably like most of you, feel a huge difference when I don't take a daily multivitamin. I feel draggy, run down, no energy, etc. Its REALLY apparent if I forget to take it (which probably is because all my levels are low, but Dr didn't feel the need to run those tests other than Vitamin D)... Anyway, long story short... Centrum is a no go for gluten-free. So, I'm trying to find an equivalent supplement in gluten-free form. Anyone have suggestions for me? THANKS so much in advance!

I've been using Pioneer brand multi vitamins for myself & my son. They are reasonably priced at iHerb online. Pioneer actually has a celiac cleanse formula now too. I bought it, but havent been brave enough to try it yet.

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      Most people are already deficient in minerals. I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter. I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals. I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined....

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Update about this condition. Into late 2025/early 2026 the symptom, which is a clear stocking/glove pattern (it is now frequent in my hands as well as feet and lower legs) has basically outgrown the medication (Duloxetine, now at max dose of 120mg/day). I notice that strong pain occurs when my mind de-focuses in particular, then if I focus awareness again, the pain becomes inhibited. Pain is much worse after meals as has always been the case, and particularly after exercising for some time - the effect is accumulative over weeks. Even when my energy is excellent with no fatigue. Infact, last year doing cycling, it was the increased pain alone that made me have to reduce what I did. I got very fit and energetic, but had awful stabbing foot pains on the surface of the big toe, or sometimes heel, or anywhere in the skin of the foot and sometimes lower leg. These are not muscle pains or internal to the foot or leg. They are happening on the surface. I've had a referral back to the neurology department at my local hospital but the waiting list is a year long. I went back to the doctor who has been updated on everything and has looked over previous and recent blood tests, skin biopsy, and other tests. All tests reveal there is no nerve damage. Infact my nerve density in the biopsy showed much better than average nerve health. There are no nutritional deficiencies and I regularly supplement my diet with Vitamin D, B1 and B2, and Magnesium Glycinate. None of these have helped at all. The pain syndrome just outgrows everthing. It has now become investigated as a chronic pain syndrome with severe central sensitization. It takes less and less provocation to produce the same symptoms, which is indicative of a fault in the descending inhibition of pain mechanism and nociplasticity in the amplification of pain signals. As such I'm being referred to a pain specialist and will see what they recommend.

      I am sorry to hear you went through that @YoshiLuckyJackpotWinner888.  That could not have been an easy thing to figure out.  I just used Uncle Google to perform this search:  "Can water filters contain gluten?" Here is the AI overview that was returned: Yes, some water filters can theoretically contain or be processed with gluten. While rare, certain refrigerator or pitcher filters may use wheat starch as a binder for the activated carbon. For individuals with high sensitivity or celiac disease, contacting the manufacturer to confirm if they use wheat or corn starch is recommended.  Potential Risk: Some refrigerator and aftermarket filters may use wheat-based components to bind carbon, potentially causing issues for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Alternatives: Many water filters, such as those from AquaTru Water, are explicitly manufactured to be free of gluten, corn, and soy. General Safety: Most standard water filters are safe, and the risk of significant gluten contamination is low, but not zero for highly sensitive individuals.  If you are highly sensitive, checking with the specific manufacturer of your filter is the safest course of action. --End Quote

      Most people are already deficient in minerals.  I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter.  I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals.   I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined. I don’t know anyone else that does. The rda is closer to 4700 mg a day. For anyone else that might be deficient, I suppose tap water might be a better option.  I personally can’t stand the taste of most city tap water sources.  I don’t mind mineral water and prefer it when possible. I recently found out we would need to drink 5 liters of San Pellagrino mineral water a day to get enough lithium to satisfy the suggested 1 mg a day. Unfortunately, this and other mineral waters can also have trace amounts of uranium that occur naturally in nature. Uranium is not a good thing to have in your water. I wouldn’t want that or naturally occurring lead in my water.  There is no perfect solution for drinking water.  Smart water distills and then adds back in some electrolytes.  I could evaporate two gallons day of tap water or mineral water and the remaining sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, etc… wouldn’t amount to what I already consume on a daily basis. I’m not worried about drinking distilled water.

      Reverse osmosis water pulls electrolyte minerals out of the body.  If used for cooking, RO water will even pull even more electrolytes out of the food.  If you're not replacing electrolytes because you're eating food cooked with RO water, you can suffer from Electrolyte Imbalance.  The symptoms of Electrolyte Imbalance are similar to those that occur with being exposed to gluten.   Also consider that many people with Celiac disease have malabsorption issues and may already be low in electrolytes.  Exposure to RO water may create some health changes more quickly than in healthier individuals.   RO water impacts the body in many ways.  Read this fascinating study.   Long-Term Consumption of Purified Water Altered Amino Acid, Fatty Acid and Energy Metabolism in Livers of Rats https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11122726/ Drink mineral water.
