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!

My mom has cancer -- had a difficult time on Chemo with "adult" vitamins -- she started taking these -- she loves them! She said that she wouldn't go back to regular vitamins! :lol: She gave me one -- you're right -- they're DELICIOUS!! :lol:

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.

So, what you're saying is, I shouldn't be eating 5 Calcium bears and 3 gummy vites after my kids go to bed?

: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?

I trying to remeber what they are called, but my wife ate them while she was pregant. They are littel cubes of carmel (or other flavor)... purple box... dairy and gluten free... the generic version is called "Calcium Chews" I think , but I forget what the brand name is called. Ugh..... letm e search google... brb.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.)

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.

I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
