Can someone tell me what is in these vitamins (b complex with C and Zinc by nature's bounty) that is the wheat factor?

ingredients: vegetable cellulose, FD&C Yellow No. 5 Lake, FD&C Yellow 6 Lake, Silica, Titanium, Dioxide Color Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Vegetable Stearic Acid.

At then bottom it says contains wheat and soy, I don't know what about them is the wheat and now I'm just lost not know what the wheat is here.

Thanks :)

It could be the vegetable cellulose - they may have made that from wheat. You may have to call them. Simplest thing is to just not use any product that says it contains wheat.

Vegetable cellulose is in my other vitamin labled No Gluten, No Wheat, No Soy so it must be something else here.

I'm not going to use them because it says 'contains wheat', but I used one of their other vitamins without getting sick, which is something that is hard to do with me.

I was just more curious than anything what it would be!

Vegetable cellulose can come from various sources. "Vegetable" is a weasel word.

I agree!

At least, they have labeled it: "contains wheat". That is always helpful.

I suggest you do not use them. But if you cannot return them, put them in a food pantry donation. They can always use vitamins.

Country Life vitamins are Certified G F and they are not very expensive.

I am not going back to them at all!! My mom will gladly use the vitamins so no worries (she has no special diet concerns).

I will have to try country life. I have a history of having a difficult time of digesting vitamins and get terrible stomach aches and nausea. I am mainly taking Vit-a-fusion vitamins without any issues, but was looking for a cheaper alternative if possible. I am taking 7 different vitamins so it can get expensive! Even if I can save two and half dollars per bottle that's seventeen dollars over them all!

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Jesmar! The HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes were the original halotypes identified with the potential to develop celiac disease. Since then, other genes have been discovered that apparently afford a predisposition to celiac disease. As is always the case, these new discoveries are not yet common knowledge and not yet widely dispersed in the medical community. It is not genetically as black and white as we once thought.
