Hi all--does any body know of a gluten-free chewable multi-vit. for kids? Or which national brands are best? My little one likes the "gummy" type. Thanks!

Little Critter Gummi Vites are free of many allergens, including wheat (gluten), and it is stated on the bottle! You can even buy them at Costco! ;)

Trader Joe's also sells Gummy-Vites. For other parent's reading this thread whose children (like my daughter) won't take chewable vitamins, Schiff's makes a liquid multi-vitamin for kids. We buy it at V.I.T.A.C.O.S.T.com

My son takes Gummi-Vites. I get them at Walmart.

My kids also take Gummi-vites, and we buy them at Costco, it's the best price I've seen. I haven't checked the price at Vitacost though.

It's not the gummy kind-but my kids needed extra iron, and the gummy-vites didn't have what we needed. Anyway, they fight over the Schiff chewables, they LOVE them...

We chose Tall Tree because it had iron and was a "complete" vitamin. A lot of the gummy ones I could find only had a few vitamins in them. We got ours at Whole Foods.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
