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. :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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 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?
