Hi everyone 

I have been diagnosed now for 2 years and are still learning. Looking for a safe B complex. I live in Canada. Anyone knows if Jaimieson vitamins are safe? I have tried so many brands and get sick even though the companies say they are gluten free. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I have been diagnosed now for 2 years and still learning. Does anyone know is B complex from Jamieson are safe for celiacs? Their statement is vitamins are gluten free but do not have a gluten free facility. I have spent so much money on vitamins from different brands and get a reaction from all of them. Can anyone suggest something? I am very sensitive to gluten. Even if you have a multivitamin you know is safe.

Thanks so much

Hope to hear from someone

Welcome to the forum, Raquel!

I use Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland Signature line of vitamins and supplements without issue. It will state clearly on the packaging or the bottle if they are gluten free. But then, I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac. Also, have you considered that it might be some other ingredient in the vitamins you are reaction to, such as corn starch?

Thanks for your everyone. I think it might be something else in the vitamins what is causing issues.

What form of Niacin is in the vitamins you are reacting to? 

Niacin as nicotinic acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) can cause flushing of the skin.it's a normal reaction especially if you're low in Niacin.  The flushing lessens and disappears as your body replenishes it's stores of vitamins.

Have you tried taking each vitamin individually?   I found it much easier to use single vitamins.  Easy to identify which vitamin I'm reacting to.  Also check into methylated forms.  Methyl-Cobalamine, methyl folate.  The MTHFR genetic variation occurs frequently with Celiac.  Taking the methylated forms of vitamins helps. These methylated forms are the active forms of these vitamins which our bodies can utilize easier.

Hope this helps.

Some of the B-vitamins can interfere with sleep for some people when taken too close to bedtime. Best to separate them from beddy bye time as much as possible.

@Raquel2021,

Can you post the ingredient label from the vitamins you are taking?  

Are Life Extension brand available there?

I tried taking the UltraB complex from New Roots. It is gluten free, dairy free soy free. I take their liquid B12 and can tolerate it just fine. It is sublingual so I guess that is why.

Thanks

I looked at the ingredients.  It contains Inositol as a source of Niacin B 3.  Inositol is not absorbed well by our bodies (only about 30%).  Once absorbed, our bodies have to break it apart in order to use the niacin it contains.  Our bodies can make Inositol from Niacin.  

Niacin causes flushing, a harmless reaction which will fade with continued usage.  Taking smaller doses of Niacin two or three times a day can also diminish flushing.  Niacinamide is the non-flushing form of Niacin.  

You might want to consider adding Niacin or Niacinamide to your supplements and see if you notice any difference.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wh...

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Pasta

      If the arsenic in rice doesn’t bother you then Tinkyada is the best pasta I recommend. I’ve ate it from day 1 after researching what I could and could not eat, along with locating such foods when first Dg’d. Granted, if you close your eyes while munching on rice pasta you may very well come to reality that it is rice no matter the cuisine you have created with ...

      Oats gluten free?

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million...

      Oats gluten free?

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones...

      Oats gluten free?

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins...

Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective.

These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.
