gluten-free/df Vitamins For Kids?

I was wondering if I could get some gluten-free/DF vitamin suggestions. My four year old willingly takes the Animal Parade chewables, but my 18 month old just kinda looks at me like I have three heads when I try to hand him one. I know vitamins are important for celiac/gluten intolerant kiddos, particularly calcium & vitamin D. TIA!

We use Schiff children's chewables. They say they contain fish and soy. There's no gluten or dairy.

I believe that Animal Parade also makes a liquid multi-vitamin. And Nordic Naturals makes a gummy vitamin by the name of Nordic Berries. There are also gummy calcium supplements...I think they're called Yummi Bears?

Carlson for Kids Chewable Calcium, My boys love it. The multivitamin I use is Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bears. Both are gluten-free/CF(dairy free)

We use Trader Joe's Gummi Vites for Kids. The label says no wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, tree nuts, soy, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

My son likes the taste.

Thanks everyone!

I ended up finding a liquid vitamin at Wild Oats - I'll have to post the name later since it escapes me at the moment. It's gluten, dairy, soy, artificial anything free. Aiden can be a little tough to please with flavors/textures because he has reflux so he's gotten pretty picky. He seems to be doing ok with the liquid ones so far.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
