Gf Prenatal Vitamin

[carriecraig]

Hi Ladies,

I just found out on Saturday that I'm pregnant (about 5 or 6 weeks I think). I'm trying to find an Ob/Gyn right now, and I know they are going to put me on a prenatal vitamin. Anyone know if they are gluten-free?

You would need to get the brand name or check with the manufacturer. Ask your obgyn, he or she may have info on that...but you will probably just need to get the vitamin info and find out yourself...

I will have to check to see what I take. Mine are chewable. Congrats on your pregnancy!

I too just found out I am PG (about 7 weeks). I am sooooooo sick- how about you? I get real sick if I get hungry(shakey) and sick after I eat. Hope this doesn't last long....

My doctor gave me a prescription that said "needs to be gluten-free" and left it up to the pharmacist. However, the pharmacy called on the one that my insurance covers, and they said that it is listed as gluten-free, but they won't guarantee it. What in the heck does that mean? Has anyone else had issues with pharmaceutical companies not wanting to guarantee that it is gluten-free?

I just found out I'm pregnant about a month ago, and I'm about 8 weeks along I think. I am feeling extremely sick as well. If I don't eat I feel really queasy, but if I eat, I feel really queasy too! It doesn't even matter what I eat either...no matter what...I feel sick. I'm praying that it's just from being pregnant and not from something I have eaten being contaminated with gluten, because I've heard miscarriages are more common amung celiac women...
