I am really hoping that someone can help me. I am a newley diagnosed Celiac, and I am going crazy trying to find a gluten free multi. Some say gluten free, yet they contain either barley grass like the womens ultra mega. or hydrolyzed vegetable protein like sisu. I just bought two vitamins. one was USANA, I have them sitting on my counter, and have not taken them. I read some reviews about them and some people say they are so potent that they get side effects. I also bought New Chapter EveryWoman, have been taking them for a couple of days now. They give me extreme energy. Just want to know if everyone out there knows for sure if they are safe. I contacted them and they said they are naturally gluten free. I am just a little nervous as there are alot of natural organic ingredients that i am unaware of.

please someone help me!!!!!

You don't have to order special ultraexpensive vitamins you can take ones that you can get at your local pharmacy or grocery store. I take Nature Made, County Life, Now and Wegmans brand. If your doctor hasn't already have your vitamin and mineral levels checked to see what you need to supplement.

I take New Chapter Organics Woman's One Daily. It is food-based and is the only vitamin I've tried that my body really absorbs. Unfortunately, the New Chapter prenatal vitamin contains oats even though it claims to be "naturally gluten free."

Thank you all for getting back to me. I take the everywoman. 3 daily. I must say that the energy is unbelievable. I stopped taking my iron supplements because I feel so much energy. I was just afraid that there was something in there that could potentially make me sick. I went over the ingredients and they seemend okay. I called the company and they said that the oats are uncontaminated. not sure if I would even risk trying it.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
