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. <_<

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
