Good Multivitamin?


ERA's mom

Recommended Posts

ERA's mom Rookie

My daughter has been taking a "wheat and gluten free" multivitamin for several weeks now........and I discovered this morning that there is BARLEY GRASS and OAT GRASS in it....could this be a problem? Know of a good multi-vitamin...? She was told by dr. to stay away from wheat, corn, oats, dairy, etc. AND, don't know how we missed it, but on a snack bar, in clear printing it says "OATS"...so that has glutened her, also...more clues to why she is not feeling well. :( Thanks.

I have been taking Genesis Today's 4 Total Nutrition liquid vitamins. It's tastes awful but I would swear by it. I get mine at Whole Foods,

I use GNC's SoloDay. It's relatively cheap for a multivitamin (about $6 for 90 pills), and it is also soy free. It works great!

Centrum is gluten-free (execpt Centurm silver) and you can find that just about anywhere.

Nature Made is gluten-free and I have taken it for years now. Last week I was in a Puritan Pride store and they claim their vitamin is gluten-free, but it has barley grass and truthfully--I dont care if they think there isnt enough barley in it to constitute gluten--it's not up to them to decide how much is not enough for me. I wont purchase their vitamins ever, now. Deb

I have to avoid corn too. I use Futurebiotics multivitamin for women (free of corn, dairy, gluten, etc), though I am sure they would have a gluten and corn free version for childern or younger folks if that one isn't appropriate. Also, I take Country Life (free of corn, gluten, dairy, etc) calcium and biotin, and they make a ton of various vitamins too. I found both of these at Harry's, which is part of the Whole Foods stores.

Be careful about vitamins--even if they are gluten free, they might be more "neutral" than "positive." Consumer Reports investigated vitamins, and found that many don't have all the nutrients they claim on their labels. Even more of those had undigestible elements--even if they were in the vitamin, your body could only absorb a certain percentage of them.

I probably sound like a broken record, but I highly recommend Usana vitamins. I was on a run-of-the-mill gluten-free vitamin, and I was still having lots of wierd symptoms. My dad bought me a months' supply, and I had a night-and-day difference. If I forget to take my vitamins for a few days, the weird stuff comes back: anxiety, tingling fingers and toes, chest pains, dizziness, all that. They're pricey, but it is completely worth it to feel healthy!

I know of a great whole food supplement that is better than any vitamin I've ever taken and it is gluten-free. It's called Juice Plus - it's a capsule that has the concentrated powder of 17 fruits and vegetables. Because it includes only the outer portion of the oat and barley grain it is gluten-free. Me and my family have been taking it for 2 years and are healthier than ever. I'm the only one in my family with Celiac and getting the nutrients from these fruits and veggies every day is far better than any manufactured vitamin out there.

If you want more info, you can email me at my other address - free2behealthy@optonline.net and I can send it to you.

Also, it's free for kids between 6 and 15 years old through their Children's Research. That's how my daughters get theirs. Me and my husband take it and get it for free for my 2 girls. Great nutrition at a great savings.

Good luck! :)

The suppliment I use and trust is one I get from Whole Foods called Blue Bonnet Maxi One.

It's gluten free, corn free, wheat free, barley free, rice free, sodium free, sugar free, milk free, and yeast

free, one complaint though it's really big!

It's good to see more companies making gluten free supplements. :) I definitely prefer Juice Plus though because it is a whole food and not a vitamin. I love that it is the fruit and vegetable powders in an easy to swallow vegetarian capsule. And the Chewables are pretty good and the Gummies are great - we even eat them as a snack in my family.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
