The calcium ones are better than the plain Gummy Vites. Not that I would ever sneak any when my kids weren't looking.

My teenage daughter loves them. Why do manufacturers make grown-up vitamins taste so bad? Do they think we should just swallow the pills and lump it, just because we are adults? My liquid B complex tastes so bad, I can only take 1/4 of the dose, and that has to be in a glass of cran-grape drink.

Last time I was at the sotre I think I saw more adult sized gummy vits vitmans. Gonna look agina, if they are there I will probably get them since not find mainstream gluten-free/DF vit for me yet.

I'm a fan of Rainbow Light's vitamins. They're the first cal/mag/D vit I found in the right proportion. So I was happy to find their Women's Daily in good proportions as well.

Oh my god, just quickly swallowing that pill with a large mouthful of water tastes like chewing on day old dry grass. NASTY! They appear to be good quality vitamins (dissolve quickly in water, you know that old test), but I don't know I can take them, the taste is just horrid, even for chuggin' them down).

ROFL!! I've been taking them w/my kids too.. I will have to look for the calcium ones, though and Adult ones. I know Sam's Club did not have those or I'd have seen them.

It's very nice not to have to fight w/them to take them too!

Where did you find Rainbow Light? Maybe I should look for those for me.

Now you see, crime does not pay. All of the times you stole your son's vitamins, they did you no good.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
