Vitamins

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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
