I want to take a Spring Valley Super B-Complex vitamin but I have no idea if it has gluten in it or not ... and they have no number on the bottle to call them.

Here are it's listed ingredients....

Cellulose

Crosarmellose Sodium

Coating (dextrin, dextrose, soy lecithin, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium citrate),

Magnesium Stearate

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose,

and

Dicalcium Phosphate

On the front of the bottle it also has a round label that says

Yeast and Liver Base

Sorry to list every ingredient. (Like we don't read enough of these anyway, huh?) But I just wanted to come here and ask you all. Thanks! Still new even after 10 months of trying to be gluten free, I sometimes still mess up and really don't want to mess up this one. I am bloated from a gluten attack right now as I type this and I really just want to be extra careful. Thanks. :)

Brewer's yeast is the culprit, I bet. It's a by-product of beer making :o . I use Spring valley products too, some of them have gluten, some don't. (had to donate two bottles to my dd two weeks ago)

I called them about a year ago regarding their biotin. That is gluten-free, but the information is also a year old. I now use a gluten-free vitamin I found at a health food store.

The vitamins that I take are from a company called USANA. They are manufactured to pharmaceutical standards. As a result they are very high quality. Yes, they are gluten free. They also market a couple of nutritional drinks that are gluten-free as well as a nutrition bar.

If you want any additioanl info, let me know.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
