Probiotics / Vitamins

Does anyone feel like sharing which probiotics and multivitamins they take? I know it can be hard to find some that are REALLY GENUINELY gluten free. I have been taking a probiotic that I found at Sprouts and it says it's gluten free. My aunt has Celiac and takes the renew life 50 billion. Mine is 30 billion. I don't know if that's enough? Should I be taking a stronger one? I'm 5 months on the diet and don't know how screwy my gut flora was when I was diagnosed so I don't know exactly what I need. I'm not unhappy with mine. Just thought I'd pick your brains :) 

My pharmacist said he had a pharmacy professor who swore by Renew Life probiotics so I thought about switching to them, just to try something different. Or maybe some of you have a brand that you love and I could look into that too.

I've been taking the VitaFusion women's gummy vitamins and they say they're gluten free. My toddler takes the Little Critters gummies (he has Celiac also). I haven't noticed any issues with either of them specifically, but wondered if you have experience with them and trust them. I assume that they're safe, as I did some research before I took them and they looked safe. Thoughts?

 

Thanks for supporting me!

Hi :) 

I take a big B vitamin which I get from Costco. Don't have the pack to hand but I think its their own brand one. Its gluten-free. I also take omega 3 fish oil and currently Vit d and calcium. I sometimes take Pharmaton which is a multivitamin, may not be available where you are. My probiotics are holland and barrett, uk brand so probably no use to you :(

Hi fbmb!

I take Florajen 3 for my probiotic and I do feel like it really helps.  I contacted the company and they do test to 5 ppm.  I've never had any issues with it and I do feel better when I take it.

I don't take a multivitamin, just a D since that was my deficiency.

I take Jarrow Probiotics and eat coconut yogurt daily. For vitamins I use Liquid health, they have them in liquid form you just measure into a glass of tea or juice and drink it.....BIG deal for me since I already take 4-9pills with each meal.

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:
