Hi,

I'm supposed to be taking a multivitamin and calcium (also am taking prescription vit D of 50,000 3X a week). But I'm confused on what is OK and what isn't ... anyone have a brand name that I can buy? I heard Centrum, but label said it might have "maltodextrin" in it. I've been gluten-free for 2 weeks ... and was feeling so much better, but headache today. Maybe pollen, although that usually doesn't bother me.

Thanks :)

Ann

Some people on here take Centrum and alot of theirs are gluten free..maybe people on here that use that brand can help you out with that.

I use Liquid Vitamins Plus by Utrition and love them.

I take a Centurm with lycopene daily and have and not reactions to it. I was told that all Centrum are gluten-free expect thier silver line. I should note that Its unclear if Im celiac disease or not so take my experence as hersay I guess. :D

I did how ever have a reaction to the Bayer Fergon Iron pills, and after checking Bayer's page they calim that they basicly have no clue if there is gluten in it or not.

How ever, I plan to check out that liquid vitiman that was suggested above. Wanna save me some google work and post a good link on it ?:D

I take Reliv since Celiac have problems absorbing pill form vitamins. Both children, infants and adults can take these. They are gluten-free free and help heal damage to intestine.

Hi all,

Thanks for the advice. Where do you get the liquid vitamins? Are they really liquid, or gel caps? And how much money are we talking here? My vitamin D is a green gel cap ... will that be absorbed easier then the pills?

The Liquid Vitamins Plus say Ultra Absorbable right on the front. They are pineapple flavored and yes it is all liquid. I like liquid because of the way it is absorbed.

They also sell other liquid products....I use a different brand of liquid calcium and try to use liquid when I can.

You can get it at health food stores or the vitamin shoppe....here are some places that sell them:

On this site I think it was the cheapest...it also tells you how much of each vitamin and mineral is in it

Yeah it may not work for some people but I would look into Liquid Vitamins...there are many brands out there that do have that. I take a separate supplement for that but it would be better if it was all combined.

P.S-you may want to look into more of the products they make...they make a variety of things and one may suit your needs better. Just do a google such on Utrition products.

Hi Kaita,

I found Utrition at CVS (at least it says they have it online - I'll have to check on way home). BUT - what does it taste like and how much a day would I have to take? I'm not so good with taking stuff - should have seen me with the prep for the CAT scan. Just a big baby. Can you mix the vitamins with something else if the taste bothers me?

Something is bothering my stomach today ... thnking it must be the one-a-day I took yesterday. I went to pharmacy (not cvs) and asked about gluten free vitamins and got a 10 minute lecture on Lorraine Day and her products and living under the "word". I just want vitamins!!!!

The ones I have are flavored pineapple. I can't tolerate gross tasting things and I can drink this plain. You can mix it with orange juice or something else though :D

On the bottle these vitamins say gluten free too :D

Jamieson Mega Cal Calcium Magnesium and Jamieson Vitamin D are gluten free. It says gluten free right on the label.

I buy my vitamins at GNC, because they are all labelled gluten-free and it just makes me feel better.

Thanks everyone. I actually just came back from buying Centrum ... and I picked up some vitamin C, too. I'm feeling very tired and weak today ... but I think it's from whatever I ate that wasn't gluten-free. And I was feeling so back to normal this past Monday ....

You guys are the best, for sure. I don't buy a single thing without checking this site, it's links, etc first. :)

Vincent,

You have the UK site, so that doesn't apply to the US...but your statement was correct about Centrum products in the USA.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
