Looking For A Gluten Free Vitamin/Mineral Supplement

Can anyone recommend a basic gluten free multivitamin and mineral supplement? I have so many sensitivities and am not having luck finding a supplement without anything extra added to it.

A lot of brands have citrus bioflavonoids. I tested severely intolerant to lemons so question if they are safe for me. I just purchased Kirkman Advanced Adult Multi-Vitamin/Mineral supplement and that contains resveratrol, which comes from grape skins. I tested moderately intolerant to grapes so question if that would be a problem. Last time I saw my doctor, he had a brand that had something else in it that I tested intolerant to, although I can't remember now what it was.

There has to be a brand out there that is just vitamins and minerals without anything else added. My diet is so limited right now because of all my intolerances that I feel I really should be taking a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. I only tested low on Vitamin B12, but I want to keep all the nutrients in the normal range.

I take Rainbow Light's Open Original Shared Link. It does have a couple of extra things - dong quai, spirulina, red clover, kale, spinach, dandelion greens, and beets, and some digestive enzymes and probiotics - though. It's never bothered me at all, but I'm not the most sensitive in the world.

I know that I can't handle beets so this one is out. Beet juice is used in a lot of yogurt and kefir for coloring so once I bring in more dairy, I'll have to watch labels for it there, too.

I just checked this one out and it sounds like it may be my answer. I already supplement with Vitamin D3, so will just need to add a Vitamin A supplement and I should be set.

Thanks jerseyangel and tarnalberry for your suggestions.

I have a very hard time with supplements and have had no problems with this one. A dose is 2 capsules, I take one with breakfast and one with dinner. I use their D3 along with it.

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
