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.

      Safe Gluten-Free Spices and Brands: A Celiac Disease Guide

      Thanks for this article. I gave a bunch of my old spices to my single mom neighbor after being diagnosed this past month. She was thrilled to find chili powder and used it that same evening. After reading several reviews on Amazon, I purchased a 28oz container of Badia Complete Seasoning for under $7.00. It is super rare to find anything on Amazon...

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      By ainsleydale1700 · Posted

      Thank you!  I have the classic symptoms while eating gluten-constipation, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, etc.  My main problems right now are elsewhere in my body.  Dental issues...my teeth started breaking.  I had two teeth break in the past month.  My dentist looked at my teeth with a camera and said I have no enamel left.  Im really struggling with neuropathy, and gynecological conditions.  My periods stopped 6 years ago and Im not in perimenopause or menopause.  When I consume gluten, my resting HR goes up about 30 points, and takes a week or so to normalize.  The list goes on, its very overwhelming Ongoing vitamin D deficiency, magnesium, iron, blood creatinine is always low, dont know if thats relevant. Below is from the Celiac panel, otherwise the results were normal.  Not crazy high, but I wasnt aware the Celiac panel was included in the bloodwork.  So I didnt prepare for it in advance, and Ive been on a gluten-free diet for the past 4 years High t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG: 7, Reference Interval: 0-5, Unit: U/mL This test detects IgG antibodies to tTG (tissue transglutaminase), and was performed because your IgA level is below normal. The immune response that occurs in celiac disease often leads to IgG antibodies against tTG.   I know I have a bad reaction to gluten.  But with the low likelihood of Celiac, any guidance on other paths to explore would be greatly appreciated!  Ive been trying to figure this out for years now, and more issues keep coming up.  It has been so overwhelming.  Thanks again.

      It’s absolutely worth bringing all of this to your GI appointment. The 2013 CT note about thickening in the second and third portions of the duodenum is especially important, since that area is directly involved in celiac disease and other inflammatory conditions, even if it wasn’t followed up at the time. The weak positive HLA-B27, joint pain, stiffness, numbness, and burning sensations could suggest an autoimmune or inflammatory process, which sometimes overlaps with celiac disease or other gut-related immune conditions. Your periods of neurological symptoms (balance issues, numbness, confusion), low vitamin D, and fluctuating levels despite supplementation are also relevant, as malabsorption can contribute to deficiencies and neurologic complaints. Even “normal” labs are helpful for pattern recognition over time. I’d suggest organizing your records into categories—GI imaging, autoimmune labs, vitamin/mineral levels, neurological evaluations, and symptom timelines—so your GI doctor can see the bigger picture. This kind of long-term pattern can be very useful in connecting dots.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @heart390! Genes connected with the development of celiac disease remain latent until triggered or activated by some biological stressor. The stressor can be many things and our knowledge in this area is incomplete. Suspects include viral infections, antibiotics, pesticides, preservatives and other harmful chemicals in the environment. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage in life. It is a long outdated misconception that gluten intolerance is a childhood phenomenon that you eventually outgrow. You use the term "gluten problems". What do you mean by that? Have you been formally diagnosed with celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance")? There is also NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or "gluten sensitivity") for which there is not yet any testing available. It shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but is not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel. A diagnosis of NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease for which we do have tests. If you would seek testing for celiac disease, you must not begin the gluten free diet until all testing is done with or you will have invalidated the testing. There are two stages to the testing. The first stage involves a simple blood draw to check for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. If the antibody testing is positive, doctors normally order an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which checks for damaged caused by the inflammation associated with the autoimmune response. That is the second stage of diagnostic testing.
