Prenatal Vitamins Revisited...

Hi, I was diagnosed with celiac disease 7 weeks ago and have been gluten-free since then. My husband and I are planning to start trying to get pregnant some time soon, and I am now looking for gluten-free prenatal vitamins. I read on this forum that Nature Made Prenatals are gluten-free. However, I just went on their website and saw 'Modified Food Starch' in the list of ingredients. Does anyone have information on this? Thanks.

If I was a gambler (which I am not) I would guess that the starch is from corn. However, you really need to call the company to make sure.

I don't know if those are gluten-free or not, but I do know that GNC's are.

I take Perry hypoallergenic prenatal vitamins.

My doctor said that capsules are better than pills and these seem to be complete, capsules and gluten-free.

I tried the GNC prenatals and they kept giving me headaches. I am staying away from them for now until GNC can tell me how they are processed. Sometimes the surfaces are coated with flour to prevent sticking. :unsure:

I am a fan of Rainbow Light Just Once Prenatal One.

It says right on it that it contains no gluten (and other stuff I don't want). It has ginger in it to help tummies and does not make me burpy.

I picked up my first bottle per a random woman's recommendation in Whole Foods. I was staring at the plethora of bottles and she came by and grabbed that right away. I asked her about and tried it out. I am happy so far. AND. . have since found the same stuff at Target for a lot less bank.

Hi! I just found out that I'm pregnant (yay! after months of trying!), and the nurse wanted to give me a prescription for prenatal vitamins, but she didn't know which ones were gluten-free. She told me to stick with my multivitamins and add more folic acid, but I thought I would check if anyone knew a prescription prenatal brand that is gluten-free or if anyone has an opinion about prescription versus over-the-counter. It's sooo nice to know that others are facing the same issues! Thanks!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
