This Multivitamin Sounds Good For The Gluten Intolerant.

I just ran across this vitamin. It was developed for those that have had bariatric surgery. Since gluten and other food intolerances cause lack of absorption, this sounds like it would work for us, too. I'm going to discuss this with my doctor at my next visit.

This is what it says about it:

NEW High potency, rapid release tablets designed for smaller stomachs

In an individual with stomach acid concerns, typical multivitamin tablets with a varnish or shellac are slow to dissolve, negatively impacting absorption of vitamins and minerals. But not BX Essentials Multivitamin & Mineral with Iron.

I am more on the holistic/natural side of this so I understand if you don't agree, but I have been using Vita Synergy Open Original Shared Link and it is awesome. They recommend 4 a day but I started with 1 waited until I saw my body absorbed (bright yellow pee, your not absorbing) by day 2 I was absorbing and upped it to 2 a day and so on. It is 100% food and you are getting all of the required vitamins from food and NO GMO's , 100% organic, GLUTEN FREE.. it is awesome. We also use their greens. Amazing products.

I looked at both the men's and women's formulas. Those both contain barley grass. Personally these would make me very sick. If someone does decide to take these please, please watch for a reaction. Although barley and wheat grass are technically gluten free many of us will react.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
