Need Vitamin Brand Suggestions

Hi Everyone

I need to take a Multi, Vit D and Iron?

I am looking for gluten-free vitamins online and found some but they dont all carry everything. I wanted to try to order online or go to a store and get all 3 at one time (to make it easy each time I need to refill, you know)?

Any suggestions on a brand?

Exciting Note: Been gluten-free for a year but with some problems so I went to a Celiac Research Center in NYC. I had bloodwork drawn, a bone scan and have an endo scheduled for the end of the month (and meeting with the nutritionist at same time)SO I may have more information as to what to take then (digestive enzymes I wonder about as well as probiotics.....), but figured I would get vitamin brand recomendations from you guys all since you guys are the true experts.

Thanks again!

Hi :)

I buy Sundown at my market. They state gluten free on the label and have taken them for nearly a month now with no reactions. And they're not expensive.

I spent thousands of dollars on vitamins (whole food supplement, "pharaceutical-grade supplements, etc). The only vitamin I've literally seen a change in my bloodwork from is Isotonix. It was recommeded by my homeopathic doctor due to my absorption issues. It comes in a powder form and you mix it with water and take it on an empty stomach. If you take it as they instruct, it's has the same makeup as blood plasma and is absorbed within 10 minutes. Of course, the whole product line is gluten free. I take the multi twice a day and the OPC-3 (i think it's called) twice per day. And the calcium every few days. You can get the multi with or without iron.

I take a liquid form of Vitamin D @ 4,000 IU per serving. I can't recall the name brand.

FYI, All the vitamins I take are a bit pricey, but seem worth every penny.

I check out all my vitamins (except for Isotonix) on consumerlab.com to ensure their purity and potency.

I use the Vitasorb range from Biocare Open Original Shared Link They are drops which you put under your tongue to ensure you absorb the vitamins, if your stomach and intestines are damaged from Gluten it sometimes can not absorb the vitamins from pills or even liquid. Using Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid made a big difference for me.

This is all great feedback, thank you all.

I was concerned with taking a big old hard vitamin and if we celiacs actually "absorb" it.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
