Vitamins ?

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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
