Supplements

[Tay]

I need to take calcium and iron supplements because I have osteopenia and low ferritin. I also take a multivitamin, in hopes of getting the other nutrients I need. However, I have recently read that supplements are a common source of hidden gluten and might be mislabeled. I got my supplements from whole foods and Wegmans, and the wegmans brand specifies that there is no gluten in the product. Can I trust them?

Not real certain about what you are taking but my dietition said all I could take is Liquid Centrum. She said no pill forms of anything because it probably has trace amounts of gluten even if it says gluten-free. Of course, you know liquid is going to be easier on the stomach than a solid form.
