it is gluten free, but I never had much success with it.  maybe because at that point I was using it while still on a gluten containing diet.  since going gluten free, I've woken up and taken between 3-7 Citrucel caplets in the morning on an empty stomach with water, and that usually gets the day started  ;)  Miralax was what my GP first prescribed when I said I was having constipation problems.  I would take it and feel more bloated, and even after taking it for several days, it never produced the desired effects.  I wonder if it would be effective now that I am gluten free?  oh well the Citrucel is working, so I'm sticking with that for now  :lol:  I do better taking caplets versus mixes things in water anyways...

The Miralax works for me. I've been taking it on and off for several years. I've only been gluten-free for about 3 months. Sometimes I start to feel better,then not so much. I'm trying to find sources of hidden gluten or cross contamination and figured I needed to found out about Miralax for sure. Thanks for the info!

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
