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.

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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
