gluten-free Pre-natal Vitamins?

OK - here's the scoop.

I call the OB - they say I need to start pre-natals asap but they don't know of any that are gluten-free so I need to find out and they will write me a script.

I call the pharmacy - they don't know, but there is a gluten-free book out there that will tell me but they don't know the name of it.

I call the Gasterintologist who diagnosed me recently with Celiacs and the nurse there says - this is a first for them that I need to check online with one of the Celiacs support groups.

So - I am new to Celiacs and now pregnant and need to start vitamins ASAP (I'm over 40) - any suggestions?

Lori,

So sorry you are having a rough time tracking this down! I personally take Nature's Way: Completia Pre-Natals (besides being gluten-free, it has DHA added to it). What I did was go to my local health food store. Those people know their stuff, and can immediately point out the gluten-free vitamins for you. Plus, any brand I picked up in the health food store made a point of saying "gluten free" somewhere on the bottle if it was. No need to scan the ingredients to determine for yourself. Hopefully you have a healthfood store in mind close to you?

I used Freeda Prenatal's. They are gluten free along with being free of some other things.

I'm taking Nature Made, which is what Costco sells. It says "No gluten" right on the bottle. Looks like they have a website, too: www.NatureMade.com

One more option... I'm still taking Rainbow Light's "Just Once" prenatals. I checked to make sure they were gluten-free. I've been ordering them from www.naturalhealthshoppe.com to get a good price.

I am currently taking One Source pre natal vitamins...these too say it right on the bottle "gluten free"!!! I actually began taking them 1 year prior to my getting pregnant!

Kirkman Labs also makes a great gluten-free pre-natal.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
