Liquid Vitamins

I was diagnosed with celiac disease about a year ago and have been gluten free since. I feel better than I have in over twelve years; however, I know I should be on some type of vitamins and definitely on some calcium. Does anyone out there have a suggestion for gluten-free pre-natal vitamins? Also any suggestions for a gluten-free calcium supplement. I would prefer liquid form, but it is not a necessity. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PS - I'm new to this, so bear with me :P

There is a great vitamin that I've been taking for the past year and half that has everthing you need in it. It is gluten-free and tastes good and can be mixed with anything (juice, milk, tea, ice cream, peanut butter). It is what got me back to feeling like a normal person and has helped heal the villi damage from the Celiac. You can find it at reliv.com. There are other liquid gluten-free vitamins that I have tried but none of them made me feel like this one.

I use Jamieson vitamins becasue they will clearly indicate gluten free on the front of the label... if it is gluten-free of course ;)

Are Centrum Liquid gluten-free?

I'm having jaw surgery on friday and will be on all liquid for a week and my surgeon told me to try to find one that is gluten-free and good for kids. I take centrum daily.

thanks!

I take regular Centrum for a multi-vitamin, but have taken a gluten-free liquid vitamin for calcium. The one I take is: Natural Wealth Liquid Calcium. It says on the side that it's "guaranteed free of: yeast, wheat, gluten, milk or milk derivatives, lactose, sugar, preservatives, artificial flavor, sodium (less than 5 mg per serving)."

I've been Celiac for a few months (or diagnosed, I should say) -- and am researching whether I should be taking liquid supplements because of easier absorption? Could anyone share any info on whether that is the case? Just want to do what it best for my body. Thanks!

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
