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!

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
