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.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
