HOLY COW THEY TASTE GOOD :lol::lol: Been looking for a vitman that my toddler son not only COULD eat, but WOULD eat. Which all you parents know is TOUGH! Well few ppl here mention these "L'il Critters Gummy Vites" and I saw them in our grocery store. It says right on the bottle its gluten-free, and made on a dedidcatd gluten-free line. NO eggs either!!

Heck, I think they taste better then most of the gummie bear candy clones!! LOL. Our problem now is convincing our son that he can ONLY have ONE! :o Heck its hard to convince ME not to eat them like candy. :lol:

It has no artifical colors/flavors either, theres no way I could have predicted how GOOD these things taste! :lol:

If your looking for a vitman for you child, get these!

Awesome! I have a lot of trouble with grown-up vitamins, they tend to make me sick :blink:

I usually take flinstones (not now, but when I'm on a vitamin kick), are the gummies gentle on the tummy?

I do not believe Flinstones are gluten-free. :(

But that aside, I guess they are gentel on the tummy, I have no way to judge that though. Ive not had a problem nor has my son. :)

These are the only gluten-free vitamins I can get my kids to take. I also give them the L'il Critters Calcium Gummy Bears. They are sour fruit flavors.

Vincent, you can give give your son two a day as a full dose. :)

Well they say from 2 to 4yrs old 1 per day, after that 2 per day. Even still I am not sure giving him 1 more will make it easier :lol: might just encourage him to go for more! :lol:

Sorry about the misinformation. The bottle I have says 2 per day. It does NOT have an age range. It has been a while since I bought any. We buy the giant bottle at Costco and it lasts well over a month if my 3 kids remember to take them everyday, which they never do. <_< I think last time we bought 2 or 3 bottles, so it has been a while. They must have changed the bottle since then.

That was a funny little webpage there. :huh:

If a child accidentally ate an entire 60-count bottle of Gummy Vites, the effects would be similar to those experienced after eating 5 ounces of plain gummy bear candy: upset stomach or stomach pain, temporary constipation or diarrhea.

I'd be concerned if they were eating the whole bottle! Especially since the bottles we get are 200-count!

We have also tried the Fruit and Veggie Bears. I thought they would be good when on vacation and my kids are not eating as many fruit/veggies as they normally do. They were okay, but sort of melted into a blob on the way home from the store (1 hour drive) and we had to peel them apart. It wasn't even very warm, so if you try them I suggest at least keep them in an ice chest on the way home if you have a longish drive!

we like these too, I've tried to get Chey to take other vitamins and most of the gluten free ones we find, she won't touch. We used to get a childrens multi v from Dollar Tree, but the ones around here stopped carrying them, so... I got the Lil Critters and we both love em.

I like the *accidental* part of the statment. Oops, I accidentally kept reaching into the jar and accidentally put more in my mouth and accidentally chewed and accidentally swallowed and accidently repeated the motion SIXTY TIMES :o

My dd and I love them as well. I recently discovered that they come in larger bottles. I had been buying them at Wal-mart but at Walgreen's I found the 120 count! She used to take Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bears but they're sour. She liked them of awhile and then got to where she wouldn't take them. They also say gluten-free on the bottle. That makes life so much easier dosen't it!!

I had a problem with the gluten-free adult vitamin that I was taking previously because it made my stomach really hurt. I do great with the gummies. I just take a FEW throughout the day to space them out.... :D My dd is 3 1/2 and I usually give her two.

:ph34r: I guess that depends on how many you had before they went to bed! :lol:

Thanks for the tip, but I dont think the sour varities woudl go over well here.

Vincent, when you said that about the "sour" not going over very well at your house, the first thing I though was man my kids can't get enough sour! Then I thought about the ones I had gotten (about 2 years ago) were NOT sour. So I went back to the website and there you go, sour! They must have had other people complain about how easily they melted, then reformulated them and made them sour. My kids might like them better now! I'll have to check them out again. :D

We love these vitamins. They taste just like gummy bears! My son begs for them. I have to keep them up really high so he can't get to them. It is tempting to eat more than two. How many can adults have? :D

I'm on a multi vitamin quest for my daughter too. So they are gluten and egg free. Are they also dairy free? The site did not list the ingredients.

I'm so psyched!! I found these vitamins at Sams Club! A big bottle for a reasonable price!! I can't wait to give them to her tommorrow. We don't do anything new during the week in case of problems.

Anyone have a calcium recommendation - something NOT cultured on dairy?

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
