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. <_<

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

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
