Anyone have any good sources for gluten-free vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements?

Here are some things I highly recommend:

Liquid Vitamins Plus by Utrition...I prefer liquid because of the absorption.

Enzymes-Enzymatic Therapy

Probiotics-Enzymatic Therapy, Kyo-Dophilus by Wakunaga of America

There are alot of good brands to get but these things I find essential.

All of the things above I take and are gluten free and say so right on the bottle.

I really like the New Vision brand of liquid minerals. They have been a real help for me.

Health food stores are a good place to look.

Centrum -- gluten-free and easy to find.

Check out the New Vision website www.newvision.com. They're a mail order company and make some good products. The minerals are pricey but for me about 1oz every three days works for me so I can stretch a bottle out. They make liquid vitamins but they're pricey so I just use their liquid minerals and take whatever vitamins I find on sale at the grocery store as long as it's gluten free.

Thanks everyone, for the suggestions, but I really appreciate your mentioning Centrum, celiac3270. It's a brand that is, as you said, easy to find and relatively affordable. I went to their website yesterday and saw that they have a chewable version for adults and kids over 9 years of age, so I wanted to make sure that they would be o.k. too. They are, and they told me that all of their vitamin/mineral suppliments are gluten-free with ONE EXCEPTION: Centrum Silver Chewables (for people over 50.) They said that this is a brand new product and the company has yet to determine if they are gluten-free. So, I just thought that people would want to know this.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
