I would be careful of some gluten free vitamins out there, make sure you read all ingredients. I learned the hard way and got very sick from a vitamin. I am still on the hunt for a new vitamin. I am very interested in the new celiAct vitamin. www.celiact.com

looks very interesting.

good luck!

I have taken both NatureMade and Sundown brands, which you can find pretty much anywhere. Both brands are gluten free, and say so on the label. I'm pretty sure they're dairy free too, but double check the lable on that. I like them also because they both make some of their vitamins in softgel form which is easier to digest/absorb.

I take Rainbow Light Women's One - states on the label that it is dairy and gluten free. I love it because it doesn't contain iodine (I have DH and am very sensitive to iodine). So far I've had great results on it. I also take a B12 supplement and L-glutamine - both have helped tremendously. Hope she feels better soon. :)

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Thank you. I have been baking and eating bread daily since I got back from Europe. Even making Whole Wheat bread and having a couple slices a day, so my test should be pretty accurate if it is the Gluten.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi Charlie, I was living in Harrogate, UK when I was diagnosed with lichen planus in my mouth. They are very painful sores in the mouth.The dentist there told me I should get tested for celiac disease as she said there is a strong correlation between the two. I also had stomach issues. I had an endoscopy and it confirmed I have celiac disease. I have...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlutenFreeChef! Your question begs an ongoing controversy in the celiac community and you are likely to get a variety of answers from different responders. It is true that we have gotten numerous posts from celiacs traveling in Europe who state that they could eat wheat products there without getting a celiac reaction. This does not mean that the leadership of this online community has signed off on the safety of consuming wheat products originating from Europe. It must be remembered that these are anecdotal accounts as opposed to research-based, meaning it has not been studied in a formal, controlled way. As you state, one would think gluten is gluten no matter where the grain source is cultivated. Or, in reality, perhaps there is a difference we have not quantified yet. We do know that in some European countries, the wheat used in baking tends to be derived from heirloom stock rather than the oft-hybridized varieties grown in the US. Incidentally, we sometimes get anecdotal reports from forum posters that they were able to consume sourdough bread products without issue. But again, these are anecdotal reports and the leadership of this online community does not endorse this as a safe practice for celiacs in general.  But I can address the idea that glyphosate/pesticides idea as being the key to why some celiacs cannot tolerate wheat products made in the US but tolerate those made in Europe: https://www.eufic.org/en/food-production/article/is-glyphosate-banned-in-the-eu-due-to-its-harmful-effect-or-not https://theconversation.com/our-study-analysed-pesticide-use-and-residues-across-europe-heres-what-we-found-264907 My point is, glyphosate and pesticides are still used in European agriculture so that cannot explain the differential experience you and others have had when consuming European wheat products vs. US wheat products. But that does not mean we are dismissing the concerns over glyphosate and pesticide use in agriculture in relation to celiac disease as being a factor in the development of the disease in the first place.

      The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
