For those of you who avoid gluten, casein and soy and take calcium supplements, what brand are you using? I checked yesterday, and the calcium/D3 I take has soy in it, and I just bought it recently.

I know GNC has calcium/D-3 that is GFCFSF, but my hubby insists GNC waters down the vitamins. I don't know how much I believe that, but I also don't want to spend 3 hours at the store trying to pick out a supplement.

Check out Open Original Shared Link. I haven't tried it yet, but have heard good things about it.

I don't really want a powder. Sounds kind of nasty...

I'd give the GNC brand a try. You could try taking double the recommended dose if you think it might not be as potent as the label says. I've been taking GNC supplements for a while now, because it's the easiest soy, casein and gluten free products I can find, for a decent price too. I love how they list all the ingredient and free of things on the website, much nicer to let the fingers do the walking than standing and staring at labels for hours in the store!! :D

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
