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!

      What can I substitute for almond flour? I plan on not doing the nuts either. I'm allergic to nuts.

      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.

      New labs are now very elevated

      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...

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?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
