Vitamins ?


Jeap

Recommended Posts

I feel that I need to be taking some vitamins, but I'm not sure what is gluten-free.

I do not like to take a lot of medicine or other stuff so I'm thinking maybe a multi vitamin.

What is the minimum that should be taken and what is the best brand for a sensitive gut? B)

Any help would be appreciated!!

I find a lot of vitamin brands have gluten free right on the label up here. :) I hope they are doing that in the US as well.

If you go to GNC and ask for help they can show you the glutenfree ones.

OK I am going to be a vitamin snob for a minute here so I hope I don't offend anyone; it's just that my doctor's influence on my is apparently great. My doctors/friends and I all agree that the vitamins you get at GNC, Vitamin World, etc. are not good vitamins; they are watered down versions of the real deal and not worthy of purchasing.

I buy TwinLab vitamins; available at Sprouts or even some organic sections of supermarkets. They are gluten-free, cost the same as other vitamins, and I feel are much better than the stuff from Vitamin World. They have a multivitamin, B complex, and many, many others.

Enzymatic Therapy brands have all sorts of supplements and vitamins. That brand always has on their bottles what they are free of. Most of them are gluten-free. This is the brand I use. I am sure that there are alot of other good brands that are gluten-free as well :D

I don't have much faith in what doctors say right now. They tried telling me all sorts of crap that turned out to be completely untrue. I had to switch doctors 3 times to find a good doctor that could finally diagnose me. Twin Labs vitamins I am pretty sure that brand is even sold at Vitamin Shoppe.

The things I use from GNC have worked just as well as those I bought in the organic section of my health food store. Plus it's a lot closer to my house.

My b/f has celiac and we get our vitamins from Vitacost.com. Great prices, no fillers --- We get the NSI brand and they are gluten free. Great company to deal with (I do not have celiac but I get low carb products from them) and I have always paid $4.95 for s/h. The products usually arrive within 5 days from ordering. Good luck.

Not all GNC stores are as knowledgeable as the ones previoulsy mentioned. I went to our local one and they had no IDEA what Celiac Disease or gluten free products were! Honest. That was my first stop when trying to educate myself about Celiac Disease and was very dissapointed. I am so glad my doctor suggested this site! :D

Also, Krogers has a 1-800 number on all their produsts and you can talk to a nutritionist who will tell you which Kroger products are gluten-free.

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
