Vitamins ?


Jeap

Recommended Posts

Jeap Newbie

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.

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Okay went online to check green mountain k cups .It was said that the regular coffees are fine but they couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.with the flavors. im trying to figure out since I eliminated the suyrup so far so good. I’m hoping. thanks it feels good to listen to other people there views.

      Thank you I will i have been on a strict gluten free diet ever since I got diagnosed but sometimes places lie about there food so there r some things that do get contaminated which causes me to throw up on end for several hours until I can't hold myself up anymore

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Teaganwhowantsanexpltion! Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease. But joint pain may also be caused by other medical problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. Make sure you share these concerns with your physician so that he or she can initiate testing or make referrals to specialists. As someone with celiac disease it is very important that you be consistent with the gluten free diet.
