Every gluten-free vitimin I have found so far.. Had cross-contamination.

Sense everyone here seems to be on a good multi + additional aids for celiac healing (like B and D), someone here must know of a good gluten-free brand with no CC? :(

I use Nature Made.

WalMart, Target and grocery stores all carry it.... I get it at WalMart and also use Spring Valley b/c the B12 is only in that brand at our local WalMart. They will say Gluten Free on them if they are. Haven't had a problem yet with either brand.

Safeway (which is also Vons and Pavillion) carry Nature Made they have it on sale a lot Buy one get one Free....

GOOD LUCK

They will say Gluten Free on them if they are.

This statement makes it sound like they are not free of CC. I took Nature Made 3 years ago and they made me very sick. Either they are unsafe, or changed their formula.

I really like Kirkman Labs. Because I have multiple intolerances I have a hard time finding vitamins that don't upset me.

I really like Kirkman Labs.

Their website is very wordy/cluttered and confusing. I can't find anything about how they prevent CC, implying they don't prevent it.

Q---How does Kirkman

raisin Enthusiast

I read that, but it's too far from a direct answer.

Do they make some products containing gluten? If so do they produce them on separate equipment? Do they at any point come in contact with anything containing gluten? When they say gluten-free do they just mean it in the legally acceptable form of below a certain measurable number? -Rule of thumb : Assume the worst unless you want to get "poisoned."

Coming out of lurkdom to give you an answer. I happened to be chatting with the owner of the local health food store a few weeks ago when buying gluten-free items. She informed me that the brand Country Life is the only certified gluten-free vitamin maker on the market. I haven't confirmed if it's true or not, but it's worth looking into. Personally, I take a lot of New Chapter vitamins and haven't had any reactions. I have a friend who works for NC so she always double checks that they're gluten-free.

I did a little search for Country Life and this is the first thing that popped up:

Greetings Everyone - I am so nervous buying vitamins as I have had to throw away hundreds of dollars worth over the years. If I find one with no gluten, it has soy (usually hidden in the Vit E or in "natural flavor). If I find one with no gluten or soy, it has dairy. And sometimes I will get a supplement that says Gluten, Soy, and Dairy free - but sure enough it will make me sick. So anyone out there that is intolerant or allergic to all of those ingredients and found a vitamin that does not make them sick, let me know!

Thank you

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
