Poly Vi Sol Is Gluten Free And Good For Adults Too

Hi All,

Got this from Enfamil this morning.

"Thank you for contacting the Enfamil* Resource Center. All Mead Johnson vitamin products, Vi-Flor* and Vi-Sol* Drops and Fer-In-Sol* Drops, are gluten-free."

My doctor has me on the baby iron, because my tummy is sooo sensitive. Three weeks now and so far so good. A little gas and chest pain, but not enough to make me stop it. And the pain could be from the chocolate too. :o

I am trying the regular Poly Vi Sol multi now to see if I can tolerate it as well.

I wasn't absorbing enought Iron or B12 from the vegan diet I was on. And my iron is too low to leave it alone, but not low enough for an iron iv.

My doctor told me that this would explain my fatigue and the light headed episodes I was having.

Just in case any of you adults out there have sensitive tummies too and want to try it. :D

I'd been thinking about baby vites for a while, since I can't seem to tolerate big kid vitamins :P I used to be able to handle kids chewable vitamins, but they're upsetting my stomach, even. Are the baby ones really more gentle? How much do adults take?

Thanks for calling them!

ChelsE,

I couldn't handle the childrens chewables either.

I am starting with 1/2 dropper of the Poly Vi Sol mixed in water. The dosage is 1 dropper for infants, but

I have to go really slow on anything new that I introduce. I am planning on taking it twice a day.

Which reminds me, I need to go take it. I have to eat a cracker or have a little food on my tummy too.

I tried to edit my post and lost it. <_<

Anyways, I just checked out the generic Ferrous Sulfate Elixir I've been using. The pharmacist said it was gluten free, but I wanted to see it in writing. THe company is Morton Grove Pharmacueticals and their website says it is gluten free ... :D

My doc has me on 1/2 tsp diluted into appr. 4 oz of juice or water. I use water. And then you drink it through a straw. If you do not dilute it and use a straw, it will turn your teeth grey / black. I know this from first hand experience. :blink:

And I always eat a little with it just to be sure it will not upset my tummy.

Good luck .. marcia

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
