You might want to give Hero Nutritionals a call and confirm with them. They have a vegetarian calcium with vitamin D supplement that might be worth checking into. My dd took it along with their sour gummies for a while. Here's the website...

The L'ilCritter calcium + D are no longer gluten free. The bottle states that they are gluten free, but they are not. I had an allergic reaction immediately after consuming the gummies. I checked the label and it has 'natural flavors' which we all know that is always dangerous for those that are allergic. They are processed in a facility with products that contain eggs, fish, shellfish, soy and tree nuts.

With the new gluten-free labeling laws, this company has probably chosen to remove the gluten free statement from their gummies because they do not test for gluten even though they might not put gluten in their product at all.  They also probably added the allergy statements concerning the facility for the same reason (new labeling laws).   (I do not have the product in front of me.)    I worry more about shared lines and not a shared facility.  I'll be going to my parent's house for a visit and will be preparing food in a "shared" kitchen.  I just need to follow good preparation procedures to prevent cross contamination (use toaster bags, use lots of paper towels, squeeze bottles of condiments, etc)  

I would suggest for your own piece of mind, that you stick to certified gluten free supplements.  I think you'll feel safer!  

Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or NCGI?  Because celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and not an allergy.  

I wish you well.

If your kiddo (or you) need an iron supplement with your multivitamin, up and up brand (target) is gluten free. Similar to flint stone vitamins. My younger kids love them and my older loves the lil' critters.

Cyclinglady, I'm  not sure I was clear. They do say "gluten free" but they have gluten. I have seen many products do this. And you are right, certified gluten free is the way to go, but not everything is certified so I took a chance on the vitamins. They use to not cause a reaction, and this last time I had a reaction.

I understand that using the same kitchen is not the same thing as using the same line, but I have yet to see a label state that they use or don't use the same line. All labels that I have seen state that the item was produced in a facility that produces items thay may contain wheat.

I was diagnosed with Celiac, and I'm not sure what the proper vocabulary for a 'reaction' to gluten would be.

I come to this forum because when I'm not sure if an item caused a reaction I can find out from others if they too had a reaction, and I can narrow down what food might have caused a reaction. My experience has been that even if something has a gluten free label it turns out not to be gluten free. 

Thank you and I wish you well too.

If ti says gluten free, I would assume it is.  If you had a reaction to it, there are a few things that could be an issue. May have been something else you are. Perhaps you CC'ed with when getting it out. Maybe there was CC at the factory.  If you suspect they are not gluten-free, you can get test strips for them.  

 

Your reaction, being you have Celiac, was not an allergic reaction. It's an autoimmune one, they are not the same thing and don't work the same way.  I know many people who are gluten-free and who have actual allergies and many use these vitamins with no issue.  Again, if you suspect they are the causes I would suggest testing them yourself or at a lab or bring it to the attention of the FDA.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      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.
