Hi everyone 

I have been diagnosed now for 2 years and are still learning. Looking for a safe B complex. I live in Canada. Anyone knows if Jaimieson vitamins are safe? I have tried so many brands and get sick even though the companies say they are gluten free. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I have been diagnosed now for 2 years and still learning. Does anyone know is B complex from Jamieson are safe for celiacs? Their statement is vitamins are gluten free but do not have a gluten free facility. I have spent so much money on vitamins from different brands and get a reaction from all of them. Can anyone suggest something? I am very sensitive to gluten. Even if you have a multivitamin you know is safe.

Thanks so much

Hope to hear from someone

Welcome to the forum, Raquel!

I use Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland Signature line of vitamins and supplements without issue. It will state clearly on the packaging or the bottle if they are gluten free. But then, I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac. Also, have you considered that it might be some other ingredient in the vitamins you are reaction to, such as corn starch?

Thanks for your everyone. I think it might be something else in the vitamins what is causing issues.

What form of Niacin is in the vitamins you are reacting to? 

Niacin as nicotinic acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) can cause flushing of the skin.it's a normal reaction especially if you're low in Niacin.  The flushing lessens and disappears as your body replenishes it's stores of vitamins.

Have you tried taking each vitamin individually?   I found it much easier to use single vitamins.  Easy to identify which vitamin I'm reacting to.  Also check into methylated forms.  Methyl-Cobalamine, methyl folate.  The MTHFR genetic variation occurs frequently with Celiac.  Taking the methylated forms of vitamins helps. These methylated forms are the active forms of these vitamins which our bodies can utilize easier.

Hope this helps.

Some of the B-vitamins can interfere with sleep for some people when taken too close to bedtime. Best to separate them from beddy bye time as much as possible.

I tried taking the UltraB complex from New Roots. It is gluten free, dairy free soy free. I take their liquid B12 and can tolerate it just fine. It is sublingual so I guess that is why.

Thanks

I looked at the ingredients.  It contains Inositol as a source of Niacin B 3.  Inositol is not absorbed well by our bodies (only about 30%).  Once absorbed, our bodies have to break it apart in order to use the niacin it contains.  Our bodies can make Inositol from Niacin.  

Niacin causes flushing, a harmless reaction which will fade with continued usage.  Taking smaller doses of Niacin two or three times a day can also diminish flushing.  Niacinamide is the non-flushing form of Niacin.  

You might want to consider adding Niacin or Niacinamide to your supplements and see if you notice any difference.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
