Target Brand Multi-vitamins

the Target brand multi-vitamin for women (similar to One-A-Days for Women) are on sale this week, making the price a lot less than the branded kind. When i was there last week i asked the pharmacist if he knew if they contained gluten and he mumbled something stupid about how the drug companies aren't including gluten in drugs anymore. i just nodded, put the vitamins back on the shelf and figured i'd ask the way-more-knowledgeable people on this board!

so, does anyone take these vitamins or know if they contain gluten? i was going to write to them but i forgot and i'm going shopping tomorrow and i don't think i'll get an answer in time.

i've always gotten sick (cold and flu like symptoms) whenever i took vitamins as a kid so i wanted to one that is inexpensive in case i react badly. now i'm wondering if the kiddie vitamins had gluten in them and i was having Celiac symptoms way back then...20 years before i was diagnosed?

just in case anyone is wondering, these vitamins DO contain gluten.

response from Target:

Thanks for providing the additional information I requested. Health and safety of guests and their families is a priority at Target, and I'm happy to provide the information you need.

The product ingredient list for the Target Brand Women's Daily Vitamins does indicate that gluten is present in the item.

I am so happy to have found this out. I have been gluten free for about two months now, and feeling sooo much better. But, I have not for the life of me been able to figure out why almost every mid-afternoon I get an overwhelming wave of exhaustion, which is usually accompanied by nausea. Ding, ding! It is these darn multivitamins that I have been taking with my lunch. I'm still trying to figure this gluten free stuff out, and by looking at the ingredients I didn't think they would have contained gluten.

it's such a pain to have to contact the manufacturer for each medication! i inquired about the name brand One-A-Day for Women and they are gluten free so i take them now. no problems to speak of...

hope you're feeling better soon Becky!

I contated One-A-Day also and they told me while the vitamins themselves are gluten free, the are manufactured in a facility that also manufactures wheat products so they could not guarantee that gluten did not come in contact with the vitamins. But if you haven't had any problems, that's great. I just don't want to risk it.

Almost in tears after finding this post because I was so excited to finally find the culprit behind my gluten symptoms these past few weeks. I've been Gluten Free (or so I thought) for the past year but have started to get the symptoms back and feel pretty horrible so I've been researching everything, trying to take vitamins, anything I can do to feel normal again. Who would have thought a vitamin could make you feel so HORRIBLE. Thanks for this information---I'm truely excited to finally get some understanding about hope!!

I was just online researching OneADay Vitamins and this is on the FAQ page:

Q. How much gluten does this contain?

A. We do not add any gluten to our products. However, we cannot guarantee that all raw materials are 100% gluten-free.

I saw that for the Women's OneADay they do list Maltodextrin as an ingredient. I stay away from anything that has Maltodextrin, even things labeled gluten-free.

Walmart's generic women's multivitamins and prenatal vitamins are labeled gluten free, just as an FYI.

I thought i would post this, since this post seems to still be going...I just purchased the Target women's multi and the label specifically states that it is gluten free. Target has been offering more and more gluten free options over the last several years, so I am guessing that this is the reason for the change.

This is the second time I've had a huge wave of nausea after taking Target brand multi-vitamins. I checked the bottle and it says gluten free, but there is no doubt that within 10-15 minutes of taking these I have felt horrible. I am taking them with food, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Oddly enough, (TMI), I also get the urge to go to the bathroom at about the same time. So frustrating ... I am going to contact Target to ask again about their labeling.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
