Gluten-Free Supplements

Hi Yall

 

I'm going to try to go very very gluten free soon as I've been told that's kind of the best way to check for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (the tests are supposed to be...endoscopy is good but even that won't pick up if I have gluten sensitivity but not celiac).  Anyhow, that means I need to make sure all my supplements are gluten-free enough that they probably won't trigger someone with celiac disease and I'm hoping yall can give me suggestions.

 

What brands do yall use?  Is it good enough that a product is "not manufactured with gluten" but is made in a facility that processes other ingredients that contain gluten (NOW apple fiber)?

Costco's Kirkland and Nature Made lines are excellent for those needing to avoid gluten. If they are gluten free it will say so on the bottle.

Thanks!

 

Do you generally just trust any supplement that says it's gluten free, or do you prefer it to be certified gluten free, or made in a facility or with machinery that is gluten free?

I try to buy certified gluten free products when that is an option. I tend to trust Costco products that are labeled gluten free. The company seems to have pretty high standards. And they are reasonably priced. Most of the time "gluten free" is good enough but for some very sensitive individuals it may not be.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
