Linking to amazon dot com is not permitted on this site. But the page there would be /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000TB2YX6

You need to go directly to the manufacturer's website to get product information.

Go here to GNC dot com (can't post ads here) /product/index.jsp?productId=3190386 and click the product info tab and it says they are gluten-free.

Enjoy!

Thank You both for your replies. Sorry about posting the outside link.

I'm really, really new to this "gluten-free" world, and may not even have to be part of it. But just in case, I want to get my facts organized. I will check the websites, I just wasn't sure if gluten will be present in a product, but under a different name.

These GNC vitamins do include: L-Glutamine in the Amino Acid blend, Caramel color, Tocopheryl, and Hydrolized Protein Chelate. These are some things that appear on this website's "Unsafe" list. So, I think that until I give the Gluten-free diet a trial for a month, I'm just going to go with another brand of Multivitamin. If I determine that Gluten is not a problem for me, then I will start these Mega Man tablets.

I would look for vitamins that state they are gluten free on the label. That said do make sure they don't contain anything like wheat or barley grass, read the ingredients. If you have Country Life vitamins available in your area they are one brand to look for. Now brand is another good for labeling in my experience. If you live in an area that has a Wegmans they are also a good one.

Would you say that these multivitamins are equally as good or better than the Pioneer-brand ones?

Update, the other side of the package says the the GNC Mega Men Multivitamin is: No artificial colors, wheat, gluten, dairy, yeast free. I should be able to trust their word, right? I mean, they are GNC, and have been around for awhile.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
