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.

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency. Your symptoms seem really familiar. Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac. A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies. Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms. Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized...

      Fiber Supplement

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

It was a shock to me. It’s definitely not what I went to her for.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/

      What are your symptoms? What has brought you to the point where you sought celiac disease testing?
