My Vitamins..

Label says:

People's Choice

Natural Vitamins

Daily Multiple with Iron

Ingredients: (besides the vitamins) Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Paba, Hydroxyproyl Methylcellulose, Polyethylene Glycol, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Yellow #6, and Titanium Dioxide.

It says it has no ADDED: sugar, yeast, soy, corn, wheat, dairy, gluten, egg, fragrance, artificial flavors and preservatives.

That doesn't neccarily mean it's gluten-free though right?

AND is vitamin E safe? I saw a thread about it possibly containing wheat germ oil...I was confused and didn't understand it. Can someone explain that?

Thanks

I buy vitamins that say that and I think they are gluten free. What would be the point of them saying they don't add gluten if they weren't gluten free? Maybe the company is just trying to be careful about saying gluten-free because of CC issues. It might be the same as companies saying food is "made with gluten free ingredients". Many companies are afraid of saying gluten free.

I talked to my mom about the Vitamin E/wheat germ oil thing and she said that if Vitamin E is from wheat germ oil, it will probably say on the label. She sells vitamins (she is a chiropractor) so she reads a lot of vitamin labels. A lot of people look for wheat germ oil specifically, so the company would probably want to advertise that. I'm not saying that you can be 100% that Vitamin E is gluten free if it doesn't say from wheat germ oil on the container, but it will probably say where the vitamin E is from. I am going to ask her to ask the company she orders from next time she calls them. HTH

:huh: What brand? I couldn't find "People's Choice" anywhere (well, not anywhere - amazon and drugstore.com and google :P ) So is that the brand name, or something different? The ingredients certainly look gluten-free.

You can get E that specifically says gluten-free if you're worried about cc.

I use Nature Made. From their Vit E label -

"No Artificial Colors

No Artificial Flavors

No Preservatives

No Chemical Solvents, Yeast, Starch or Gluten.

Vitamin E softgels made to USP and Nature Made's guaranteed purity and potency standards."

" Polyethylene Glycol"? You call that natural? Good lord. You should take Twin Lab. They are made for highly sensitive and allergic people so there's mostly rice base in them. All the ones I asked them about were gluten free. I took the Daily Ones and they changed the formula and now they have citrus in them!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :angry: I take the Allergy Multiples by them.

I have called three times to different companies of manufactured vit and got an answer within minutes.

Go shopping, write down the 1-800 # and call. It takes minutes.

Not many of us can read the looooong words that they put in vit's, but it does not take long to find out. :)

Been around for over a year and I'm still learning. :)

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
