Looking For A Gluten Free Vitamin/Mineral Supplement


jackay

Recommended Posts

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 use Kirkman's Everyday Multivitamin--Hypoallergenic.

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.

I use Balance Point's C-Liac Vitality Packs (Intensive Care formula w/no iron) Works great for me!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗
