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

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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
