Standard Process Supplements/vitamins

[therearemiracles]

I'm new here.

I'm know now after 3 years of Ulcerated Colitis I'm allergic to gluten. Being gluten intolerate doesn't help with UC and I don't know if there's a strong connection there, I'm guessing yes. It's only been two days off gluten and my gut doesn't kill when just breathing. Although, I had a blood test that was negitive to celiac. I believe the test was inaccurate.

I take Standard Process supplement but they have oat flour, defatted wheat germ, nutrional yeast in some of the products I tate, don't you think even the smallest amount would affect me?

If so, is there a multi that you can recommend that I can take that's gluten free?

Thank You

I'm glad your feeling a bit better! If I were you I would not take the oats, etc. brand anymore. Several people on this board seem to be affected by oats. I have only been gluten-free 4 months and eliminating any questionable items seems to have helped.

I take I take One-A-Day for Women. The pharmacist looked it over for me and then made a call. It is gluten-free. He also looked at the Target brand and thought it looked okay but, couldn't get anyone on the phone, so for now I am using the brand name.

my husband's chiropractor sells standard process products and they were a bit clueless when I asked about gluten-free. Also many of their products have barley grass (which many supplement makers seem to consider gluten-free, but call me crazy...)

anyway, I have found success with the TwinLab "Allergy Multi Caps" (after trying some other gluten-free multi's that still did something weird to me). The vitamin expert at our local health food store helped me find these. They do not say gluten-free on the package, but he called and checked with the company and they are indeed gluten-free. I do take them *with* meals as directed, that also helps - and although it says you can take up to 6/day (2 each at 3 meals), I take 3/day (2 at breakfast and 1 at lunch) because that seems to work for my system. Any new vitamin, I would consider 'working up' to the dose to find what works for your system.

good luck! hopefully you will be feeling better & better.

I take Nature Made Multi Complex. They are labled gluten free.

Good luck.
