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

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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
