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:

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.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
