Red Things (Update)

A while back I posted that I was passing red things in my BM's that looked like tiny blood clots. Anyways, yesterday as I was taking my multi vitamin I noticed litte red spots in them. So I figured I figured I would do an experiment. I broke one in half and let it disolve for a while. Sure as hell when I checked there were thousands of these little red things floating in the cup.

So now my next concern is, does this mean i'm not absorping my vitamins?

It sounds as if they don't dissolve. What are they?

I have no freaking idea. The honestly look like like red chunks of tomato about the size of a grain of pepper. They smear blood red and all, but these are def. the things I am passing.

Were you dissolving them in water? Some vitamins are fat-soluable. What happens if you try and dissolve them in a little cooking oil? (ummm . . . :huh: . . . just guessing that cooking oil would do the trick.)

No I originally thought the red thing I was passing were blood. I just disolved one in water yesterday because I noticed them in the vitamin, i just wanted to see if that is what they were and sure enough it was.

Some people try to disolve vitamins in water (i think timing was 15 minutes) to see if the are easily absorbed/digested. You can probably find a different vitamin that you can absorb easier. Your body should be passing what it doesn't need.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
