Centrum Vitamin Giving Me Trouble?

[Lisa Ann]

I took a centrum vitamin today and I am very bloated and gassy this evening. I was recently diagnosed and haven't met with my dr. again to discuss vitamin/mineral therapy. I think I will wait until my appt. to see what she says (May 9th). Has anyone else had this problem. I'm wondering if it will be like that in the beginning?

As always, I'm looking forward to your input.

I read Centrum as being ok and Centrum Silver is what I take. I was taking a baby aspirin as well every day and found that to be the culprit as it is buffered with flour. Switched aspirin to Bayers. See https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=285

for centrum listing, Junior was listed as possibly containing gluten.

Hi Lisa Ann,

sorry, but I didn't see your post until today. I recently spoke with the people at Centrum to find out about their vitamins. Since I have trouble swallowing pills, I wanted to use one of their chewable formulas. They told me that all of their vitamins are gluten-free EXCEPT Centrum Silver Chewables. It is a new product, and at this time, they have not determined its status as far as to whether it contains gluten or is gluten-free. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Paula on chewable Centrum Silver. Just goes to show you that you can't be too careful of each and every product. And maybe that we can trust out 'gut reaction' to products.
