Are Target Multivitamins Okay?

Their bottle says Gluten Free, and when I talked to their Pharmacist about it, she called the number on the label. They could not confirm their entire facility was Gluten Free, but were certain each supplement had its own bin. I don't know if that means its own manufacturing line or not. They also would not give us a number to reach the facility to check with them directly.

Has anyone had a bad experience with this brand?

Thanks

I have heard that the body doesn't absorb the vitamins - break down the pill - as well as others that are made differently. My chiropractor recommends Rainbow Light brand. They aren't that much more expensive than Up and Up and you can see the difference by looking at them and smelling them. (They actually don't smell very good!) So even if they're gluten-free, they may not be the best, especially if you're trying to heal. Hope this is helpful!

Thanks for the reply SJM,

I have just been so concerned finding one that was Gluten Free that I didn't consider the quality. That is really useful information as I am still in the healing process.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?

      I’ve been avoiding oats and dairy and simply been eating more Whole Foods but I somehow always have symptoms.. I tried eating different food for a week including eggs meats and veggies alongside gluten free brown pasta and somehow I still managed to wake up today with a headache, anxiety, and just gi distress. It’s very annoying but I’m trying to find a suitable diet since I’m so young and just want to heal my intestines before moving onto things like milk and oats. I had a fear for awhile that I may have refractory celiac but I’ve noticed it wasn’t very common amongst newly diagnosed people.
