My Vitamins contain Barley Grass. Is this a big no no? It also contains Spirulina and Chlorella as well as barley grass all listed under "Green Foods".

Barley grass in my old vitamins made me sick. I wouldn't take them. Give them to a friend, I'm sure they were expensive. ;)

Carla is correct. Barley grass is on the list of official no-nos.

I discovered my vitamins have Barley grass in them. Does anyone know of a good quality vitamin that is gluten, soy, milk, egg, corn, free, and no colors, solvents, flavors, perservatves or binders? I posted yesterday but couldn't find my post. I'm new and will make sure I stay on line for my answer this time. Sorry and thanks. - Anne

Anne--

I found your other thread and merged the two together.

It had been moved to the products and medication forum.

You can always look at the "View New Post" to find your topic.

I'm currently taking THORNE Meta-Fem. Only one I could find that met ALL my allergy criteria. (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, almonds, etc. etc. etc.)

www.Vitamins4You.com or www.PSLChiro.com I've ordered them twice and they came fast.

Thank you for your help. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Anne; I have had good luck with Twinlab Allergy Multi caps.They say they are highest quality multi vitamin and mineral supplement available. No coloring,bindres or coatings; no added flavorings, sodium chlorides, artificial seeteners or preservatives. Free of common allergens such as fish, fish oils,iodine, wheat, yeast,, barley, rice, lactose, milk, egg, citrus, bioflavonoids, amino acid chelates, mineral gluconates and citrates are avoided as theses are drived from soy, barley, corn, potato, milk, egg and yeast. Wish you the best. evie

The Freeda brand is gluten-free, and Source Naturals has a number of items for which they specify no gluten, wheat, soy, corn, etc. Nature's Bounty has some too I think. I find most brands either don't say much or stop short of actually saying gluten-free, even when they might say wheat-free.

I've started to take Multisure for women (can buy them at Shoppers drugmart). They're made in Canada by WN Pharmaceuticals. www.webbersnaturals.com 1-800-430-7898

They are gluten free (and I called to ask)---the hydrolyzed vegetable protein is from rice. It doesn't contain corn starch as an ingredient either.

But it is not 100% free from corn. I'm guessing one of the vitamins are derived from corn. Corn is a difficult one to avoid---even the vitamin A and D preparations in milk are from corn. (well, not the vitamins themselves I don't think, but corn oil is used as a carrier. even in organic milk. I know Harmony Organics is working on finding a supplier that uses another type of oil, but the last time I checked, they hadn't succeeded!)

It isn't free from soy either--again, soy isn't in the ingredients, but the company tells me the vitamins are not soy free. Often vitamin E is derived from soy, so I'm guessing that is the case here.

Actually, my allergist at first told me *not* to have these vitamins----a lot of people with a soy allergy are fine with highly refined versions of soy (like vitamin E) but some people are not. My allergist didn't want me to take a risk (I'm anaphylactic to soy), but when I asked a dietician about whether corn-free, soy-free, nut-free, egg-free, gluten free vitamins are available, she said no. So my allergist had me try the vitamin in his office just in case. Thankfully I don't react!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
