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.

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

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
