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.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
