Gluten-free Vitimins

[raisin]

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]

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
