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. <_<

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
