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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
