Vitamins! Unsafe?

Hi!

I'm still pretty new to this, so it seems daily i am finding more and more things that are supposedly not safe or gluten-free!

I was reading the "Forbidden foods/ingredients" list and was surprised to find that VITAMINS were on it ( i know it had a "4" next to it ) , but FORBIDDEN?

or just certain types?

i lost 50 pounds and was pretty weak and malnourished, and am STILL not feeling like i am getting much better, but then again i keep finding foods/ingredients that i thought were safe but maybe are not.

my health has been very up and down and am still getting sick alot.

i am really trying to stay gluten-free, but all these damn HIDDEN ingredients are killing me...literally huh?

I have been taking "One-a-Days" daily to try and get more vitamins and nutrients in me, but is this just hurting me more?

Any advice would help, or if you Celiacs know of any specicif "safe" Multivitamins I should be taking, please share!

Thanks

Frustrated! :angry:

I found one at GNC - Liquid Mega Multi Vitamin - gluten-free, SF, CF, Yeast Free, etc...There is also a brand that is "safe" (always read the ingredients!!!) at health food stores but I forget the name.

Not sure where the vitamin thing came from but a fair number of multivitamins are gluten-free. Apparently SOME vtiamin E can have a wheat carrier or somehting.

One A Day is gluten-free. You definitely need to be taking vitamins. You probably want to add in a B12 or B complex.

thanks!

yeah, the "vitamin thing" came from a list of Forbidden Food and Ingredients from this site! but there is a *sidenote* that said this.."4) Can utilize a gluten-containing grain or by-product in the manufacturing process, or as an ingredient. "..so its a little vague!

Thanks, i'm glad One-a-Day is safe, cause i've been popping them, you know? ..One...a....

I think the main vitamin concern is that vitamin E can be made with wheat germ or something like that.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
