Has Anyone Had Any Issues With Any Vitamins

I had to stop taking vitamins for a little over a week due to some tests I was getting done. I started taking vitamins again on Monday and have felt off since Monday night with various symptoms. I'm trying to pinpoint what could have caused the reaction, but vitamins are clearly one of the possible culprits, considering the majority of my diet is very constant. It could of course be cc, some product I used, etc.

After considering this, I checked out my vitamins from one local market, and they say "no added dairy, wheat, soy".... However, they don't mention gluten, just wheat, and I'm not sure why they say "no added" as opposed to simply "no" like another vitamin I have from a different company, which also specifies having no wheat or gluten.

When something says "wheat free" as opposed to "gluten-free", I wouldn't use it. Unless, of course, you call and speak to a person who can explain exactly what's in there. Hard to say anything beyond that, as I don't know which products you are refering to. I use Centrum--those are certified gluten-free.

the products are from a local health food market, Dean's. I think there are only 2 store locations.

With any foods I buy currently, I don't buy them unless they say gluten-free (or are just veggies/fruits or meats). But I bought these vitamins when I didn't know as much about gluten and didn't put much thought into it until this week. I'm leaning towards switching them at this point, it's just such a process trying to find every source of allergens.

I guess it would also be good if I could get recommendations for gluten-free vitamins for calcium-magnesium, fish oil, ester-c, and a multi (w/out any soy from vitamin e or other sources). Thanks.

I know it's a pain to check everything! You mentioned fish oil-- I use Carlson's Cod Liver Oil--lemon flavored. Good luck with all your suppliments!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:
