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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
