Hi, as well as having celiac I am also lactose intolerant, and have been told by my doctor I am not getting enough vitamins. I was just wondering what vitamins are usually necessary for Celiacs and are all vitamins gluten free? If not which ones are. Thanks for any help you can give.

Vitamins B12 and D and minerals iron, calcium and magnesium are the ones celiacs usually need the most. A decent multivitamin is usually sufficient, though if you're avoiding dairy you'll need additional calcium/magnesium. I can't say definitively which vitamin brands are gluten-free. Most are, but you definitely need to check the ingredients. I noticed that some CVS house brand vitamins did have gluten. Safest is usually to go to a health food store; there's are also often dairy-free.

No doubt you know it already, but Lactaid takes care of lactose intolerance totally, or nearly so.

You do need to check. Do read the whole label as at times barley or wheat grass will be in some that are labeled gluten free. I use either Country Life or NOW the most and they label very clearly.

B12 is a really good idea but do get a sublingual at least at first as you will not be able to utilize the B12 in a swallowed vitamin.

I recently checked (some time in the last couple of weeks) and called Centrum and they said their products were not gluten free (I asked because of a new formula). Good luck

Nature Made will always list if the product is gluten free, as does Natrol, Spring Valley (at Walmart), Jarrow, Country Life. Always check the label though, if it doesn't say gluten free, etc, then absolutely do not buy it. Always go through the ingredients list too, they will say gluten free, then have barley grasses, which some think are gluten free, yet I wouldn't trust them.

I use Nature Made Multi Complete (found at my local CVS store). On the bottle it says: No Artificial Colors, No Artificial Flavors, No Preservatives, No Yeast or Gluten. However at the bottom of the bottle it does say: Manufactured on equipment that also produces Peanuts and soy.

I use a lot of Vitamin Shoppe supplements, and have been happy with them. I did have a problem with their "Especially for Man" multi-vit pills. They are yeast, wheat, salt, dairy, preservative, and coloring free. But they have oatstraw in them I think that is what was getting to me. I use their other product with no problem. Their is a brand called Pioneer that I think is sold on the forum store here. Ihaven't tried them but they are probably good.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      I sure appreciate the information. I knew there had to be gluten consumption for the blood test, but I did not realize that also applied to biopsies. Thank you so much for that nugget of knowledge. I look forward to learning more as I dive into this website and the collective knowledge, experience, and wisdom from those who have gone before and/or those...

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.
