A Second Look!

Hi All,

I did not take a second look at and made a mistake on my Multi vitamins that I bought earlier this week I think. I guess when I bought them I had my daughter with me and was in a hurry to get other things done before I went to work that night and did not fully see the ingrediants on the Multi Vits that I bought. THe other two are safe, I saw this morning after taking them Maltodextrine and also had Gluconate this and Gluconate that, Have I not seen these ingrediants on the I'M NOT SAFE TO EAT LIST. If these are not safe no wonder i have been really tired and having trapped gas internally and C all week. I have been trying to eat really good this week until today, Its harder when I am home with my husband.

THanks, Donna

One of the best ways to check on the safety of these is to put the brand name of the vitamin into a search engine like google and the word gluten. Many times the companies info will be one of the first links that comes up.

The ingredients you mentioned should be safe, maltodextrin is safe in the US it is not wheat dervied. You can apply the google trick to the seperate ingredients also.

Hey Donna,

I ran into this same thing not too long ago when I was looking for a good gluten-free multivitamin.

Apparently Maltodextrin is okay, and the "gluconate" that you mention is probably "ferrous gluconate" which is a source of iron in most multivitamins. Coincidentally, iron also causes "indigestion" and constipation! Hopefully that's all that you're dealing with.... hopefully not CC of some sort.

maltodextrin is safe...it just looks misleading :). and if it WERE processed from wheat, it would say so.

i don't think gluconate is bad...it will have wheat listed if it had wheat. if you are unsure, call the company. but, those ingredients, to me, appear safe.

Thank you ladies I was just wondering, Because when I took my Iron supplements when I was pregnat with my daughter I was severly Constipated and could never go literally little pebbels and hard for me to pass even when they were size of peas but guess that I can say that I have been eating bad. So ya'll are telling me that I can take them again. I thought that gluconate was a fancy was of saying gluten, and I thought I saw Maltodextrin on one of the list of don't eat because of the Malt.

THank you

It is not uncommon for iron to cause constipation and the stools you describe.

Be sure you get enough magnesium, it helps with constipation, but do not take mag. at the same time as iron. I take on in the morning (iron) and the other in the evening.

nope.. :)

gluconate does not mean gluten, and maltodextrin does not mean malt. :)

I thought that I'd read that maltodextrin in foods was made from corn (in the U.S.) unless otherwise stated, but that that rule did not apply to vitamins or medicines, and that maltodextrin used in those things might come from any source and not give the information on the label.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
