Colleen,  here I sit  in Pittsburgh, Pa  thinking  not much here to offer a gluten-free  person!.. I do like  the  Raisin Rack in Canton..... & Columbus  has a big Whole Foods not  that  WF has  a lot  of  gluten-free....We also like  Jungle Jim's  in Cinnci....

Do you know  of any  extra tasty  gluten-free  restaurants  in  Columbus? Don't  know  if  you live  in that area....

I really don't know of any.  I only head to Columbus for Dr. Appts. at OSU.  I'm an hour north.  On facebook, look up the Gluten Free Gang (GIG) Ohio.  These peeps know everything gluten-free in Columbus and Surrounding areas.  I'm in a relatively small town that has nothing gluten-free to offer outside of the grocery stores which I'm ok with because I dread leaving the house...lol.  You can find me on FaceBook also, I'm a member of "The Gang".

Hi Colleen  I'm not on fb...  I  do have  the places  "the gang"  suggests  just  thought  you may  know  of  newer  ones....I don't  sit  in a big  gluten-free  mecca  area either.... so  while  I'm in a  big  city  I  buy  lots of things  I  can't  find  else  where...

We  don't  have  stores  like  Anderson's  , Jungle  Jim's, meyer's  so  it is a treat  to  check them  out for  things  other  than  gluten-free  food  ....we have  small Whole Foods  about an hour  away...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hello, @Jane02, I take Naturewise D 3. It contains olive oil. Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets. Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking. Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the...

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.
