I've used a great multi-vitamin for over 4 years. It has no artificial ingredients and its binding agent is water cress. I never have any nausea with it. But because it is a whole food vitamin it is taken 2 twice a day. Your body can only absorb about 400 to 600 mg of calicum at any one time so you actually get better absorption taking it twice a day. The vitamin is Catalyst by a company Mannatech. It will run you about a $1 a day. I hope it is ok to state a brand.

I just checked with One Source brand vitamins sold at Walmart and they told me that all of their vitamins are gluten free. I recommended to him that they put on their label "gluten-free". He told me that he has made that suggestion and they haven't done it so far.

Hope this helps ;)

Nature Made is labeled "No Artificial Colors, No Artificial Flavors, No Preservatives, No Chemical Solvents, No Yeast, Starch or Gluten."

They also have a points program Open Original Shared Link I've gotten two free bottles of vitamins so far! :) (They'll send you a 7$ coupon after you reach 500 points.)

Many of COstco's Kirkland brand vitamins are gluten-free (in addition to cheap!) They all say so clearly on the side of the bottle. Not sure if they have a multi, but I bet they do!

If you're searching for a vitamin that is unsurpassed in terms of quality, then the products manufactured by USANA are the best. They have a product line called Essentials that include both a chelated mineral and a multi-vitamin. I was so impressed by the quality that I now market them.

In a book titlted "A Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle MacWilliam, he has evaluated vitamins manufactured by 500 companies and ranked them by quality of the products. USANA has been listed as #1 in all three of the studies.

Of course as the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. I just had my first blood test after taking these vitamins. I was right on target.

I am sooo disappointed :angry: . After my call from One Source telling me that their vitamins are gluten-free, I went to buy some. Decided to read the label first. Next to last ingredient is GLUTEN!!! Not even disguised as some other term. It was listed under the "less than 2% of the following" part of the label. Maybe that is why the company rep told me they were gluten-free. <_<

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
