Thanks everybody for responses on Soy Sauce. Still getting used to the dietary changes. Doing some research on gluten-free Multivitamins. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Joe

Yep, all of Centrum's stuff is gluten-free.....so are some of Walmart's brands (I take their Biotin in a green and white bottle).

I take Centrum as well, well actually I take the "chewable" version because I'm a big baby when it comes to swallowing pills. *But they are also gluten-free!!

I take Jamieson too. Some of Webber Naturals are also gluten-free.

I take One a Day Multi Vitamins for Women. However, this is what their web site states

"We do not add any gluten to our products. However, we cannot guarantee that all raw materials are 100% gluten-free."

Not sure if they are just covering themselves. I am sensitive and do not have problems.

I was told to try Freeda vitamins. The whole line is gluten,etc-free. They can be ordered on line. (I guess they're easier to digest for people who have celiac)...

Nature's Life carries an array of individual vitamins that state on the label they are gluten-free.

An easy one to take is the liquid vitamin by Symtec at Costco..it's gluten-free/DF/SF

It never bothers me...and is sweet!!!

You can also take gluten-free children's chewables...like the gummy variety, but the dosage is very low. It may be what a sensitive tummy needs at times.

I take all vitamins after eating something, or else they make me nauseous.

I take both the liquid and extra individual ones..especially B's....added B-2 keeps me from getting the cracks in the corners of my mouth.

Calcium supplements are out for me............never had ANY luck with any of the chewables OR tablets. I get the calcium from the fortified almond or rice beverages and vegetables high in Cal. Magnesium is a different story..I do take that, in the form of Mag Malate..(again, Nature's Life) the Malic acid helps the muscle aches.

I take Ultra Mega Women's from GNC. They're monsters though-large and green. But they seem to work and there gluten-free. I didn't realize so many of the mainstream brands were gluten-free too. Nice!

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
