Multi-Vitamins: How Do You Know They Are Safe?

I've been taking Women's One-A-Day for over a year now and with my recent diagnosis I figured I should look it up. Seems that they can't guarantee anything to be gluten-free.

Centrum said that while they don't add gluten to anything, they can't guarantee there wasn't cross contamination of raw ingredients before they got them and they don't do end product testing.

Is this just a "cover their rear" message or it is likely the vitamins have gluten?

Does anyone know of any well-known / easily accessible vitamins that are gluten-free?

Vitamins are also a topic that always generates a lot of controversy. Personally I think a lot of this is a CYA statement so the companies are being honest. You might want to check Nature Made or Spring Valley (both are easy to come by) but I don't know anything about their multi-vitamins.

In order to guarantee gluten-free status, they would have to test for the possible presence of unintended gluten. This testing would add to the production cost, so they don't do it. I would use the products.

I just started the diet so I guess it's best to leave them out for right now just in case?

I'm already afraid that I'm accidentally ingesting gluten somehow and just don't know it.

I've really liked the Women's One-A-Day and I'd like to keep taking them if possible.

I take Nature Made multi-vitamins. They say gluten free right on the bottle. You can also call and/or email them to make sure. I did last week and they told me that the multi-vitams are gluten, shellfish, fish and nut/peanut free. They seem like a really allergy friendly company. I am SUPER sensitive to cross contamination and I would know if these were making me sick. I have had no problem with them. I got them at Walgreens.

I've been using Nature Made for ALL my vitamins. I get sick very easily from gluten. They have never made me sick. In my experience you can be confident about using Nature Made vitamins.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
