Calcium Supplements, Vitamins

[newceliac]

Can someone give me the name of calcium supplements that are gluten-free/cf that are gentle on the stomach? I have not been taking calcium supplements like I should because I haven't found one that doesn't seem to upset my stomach.

Also, what is a good multivitamin?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

There are some from Open Original Shared Link which I like, since they are in powdered form. They are very good about labeling their products as to what's in them and what's not. Calcium can tend to drag down the digestive process a bit, and I've found magnesium helps balance it out pretty well. It does depend on how much you take at once too.

I also had trouble taking calcium I now take Citracal calcium citrate PLUS with Vit D and Magnesium and have had no trouble at all. As RiceGuy said, the magnesium helps a great deal. I also take NatureMade multivitamins. They are gluten-free as is most of the products in their line. Oh, and the Citracal is gluten-free, also, of course. Hope this helps.

I'm extremely sensitive and I do well with Caltrate 600 with Vitamin D. I take 2 per day--one with breakfast and one with dinner.

I take Viactive soft chews. They work well for me.

I second the Citracal - Gluten-free Casein-free and very gentle on the stomach.

I have had a reaction (similar to caffeine) to several gluten-free vitamins.

My health food store helped out, suggested TwinLab Allergy Multi Caps. They do not say gluten-free on the bottle but company confirmed (purchased about 6 weeks ago, so you may wish to call and reconfirm, 1 800 645 5626).

I tolerate these better than other multi's - and I take with food at breakfast and/or lunch (not dinner) to avoid any mid-sleep energy bursts!
