New Prenatal Question

Has anyone used Spring Valley Prenatals before?? I never even thought about having gluten-free vitamins before reading a topic posted here awhile back. They have listed quite a few ingredients...like maltodextrin, dextrin, dextrose, etc. I'm not certain if any of those ingredients are bad? I'm not very sensitive to small amounts and my reactions vary. But I really want to be 100% gluten-free during this pregnancy so I can keep my energy up. Any suggestions on good OTC prenatals that I can find at walmart or other such grocery store?

you said what I was thinking....that even though you don't have a bad reaction to still stay 100% gluten free.....

I have been reading so much lately that Celiac can cause miscarriages. I was saying before I read those, that my allergy isn't really bad, so if I cheat I wil be fine, but I will never make it through a whole pregnancy 100% free. Well luckily I read all that before we started trying...litterally a month ago, and I am with you that I want to be completely free from it.

As far as your vitamins, the only think I can suggest is to call the manufacture ont he bottle, they should be able to tell you what all the stuff is that is in it. I will have to do the same thing, if I take them....I am bad about remembering....I would rather get my vitamins from real food.

Dextrin can be made from corn, potato, tapioca, rice or wheat. Avoid it unless it specifies that it is corn dextrin, potato dextrin, etc...

Maltodextrin is made from cornstarch - not to be confused.

Therefore, I would probably call the company to clarify what the dextrin is made from and to see if the whole package is gluten-free.

I take Nature Made gluten-free prenatals. They can be found at Costco (cheap too).

I got Perry Prenatal from Kirkman. Open Original Shared Link

They are hypoallergenic and I've been doing fine with them. They are pretty inexpensive $9 for 100 days. I got them online and they arrived in a few days.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
