Hi,

Has anyone here try pure encapsulations vitamins? They say they are gluten free but took a B12 and felt like I had been glutenned?  Felt like there was a fire in me.

Thank you.  Just curious did you also get a reaction from pure encapsulations? Did you feel sick? They say they are gluten free.  I don't understand.  This whole celiac issue is so consuming. I am so tired of it.

What is the difference with the one you now take?

not much of a difference other than its a lozenge that dissolves under the tongue the pure encapsulations products i've bought from amazon from third party sellers have made me feel sick but ones i've ordered directly from them i havent had a problem the only thing i take from them now is zinc just because i havent gotten a new one yet it would be good to contact the company and ask them about their gluten cross contamination prevention measures

Thanks I got mine from Amazon.  I wonder if is fake then. I have called so many companies in the past 2 years. They are often have not clue about gluten.  If they say is gluten free it might still not be. Just my experience.  The only way to know is to see if it makes you sick. The only valuable information I have learned have been here on the internet forums from other celiacs.

I looked up the ingredients. The Pure Encapsulation b12 capsules contain

Hypoallergenic plant fiber (microcrystalline cellulose), Methylcobalamin and Vegetarian capsule (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose).

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
