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.

Thank you. I have tried everything. That is why I was interested to know what other brands of vitamins other people with Celiac are using. The other thing I find is that b complex make me feel good but them give me insomnia.

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.

      Implications of glutening after repairing villi

      By RMJ · Posted

      It will not undo all of the healing.  If it did, diagnosis of celiac disease would be much easier!  To have enough damage to see on an endoscopy requires several weeks of gluten ingestion.

      Implications of glutening after repairing villi

      By Jean Shifrin · Posted

      HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back to square one? Thanks.

      Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hydrolyzed wheat is wheat protein that has been broken down into smaller components through a chemical or enzymatic process called hydrolysis. This ingredient can be found in various products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and some food products. For people with celiac disease, hydrolyzed wheat is generally not safe to consume because it still contains gluten proteins, even in its broken-down form. Though hydrolysis reduces the size of these proteins, it doesn’t fully remove the components that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. In food products, hydrolyzed wheat protein still poses a risk and should be avoided. With regard to the McDonald's French fries, the total amount of hydrolyzed wheat in the flavoring is small, and the amount that ends up in an order of fries is even smaller, and likely below 20ppm. McDonald’s states that the fries are gluten-free by ingredient and free from cross-contact with gluten-containing foods in their dedicated fryers. Third-party tests and statements by McDonald's confirm gluten levels are below the FDA threshold for gluten-free labeling (20 parts per million or less). So, while McDonald’s USA fries may be gluten-free based on testing, some people with celiac disease still approach them cautiously due to the past concerns and individual sensitivities.

      Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?

      Here is an excerpt from this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82695:   Studies have shown that various peptidases of fungal, plant, animal, or bacterial origin are able to hydrolyze gluten into harmless peptides. According to SDS‐PAGE pattern, proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze gliadins (Heredia‐Sandoval et al., 2016; Scherf et al., 2018; Socha et al., 2019; Wei et al., 2018, 2020). Bacterial peptidase (Krishnareddy & Green, 2017), fungal peptidase (Koning et al., 2005), and prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) (Amador et al., 2019; Janssen et al., 2015; Kerpes et al., 2016; Mamo & Assefa, 2018) thoroughly degrade gliadin fractions to decrease gluten concentration and influence celiac disease. Aspergillus niger derived PEP (AN‐PEP) were assessed in clinical cases for their impact on modifying immune responses to gluten in celiac patients (Lähdeaho et al., 2014). Guerdrum and Bamforth (2012) reported that PEP addition in brewing technology decreased the prolamin and all of the identified immunopathogenic gluten epitopes in beer production (Akeroyd et al., 2016). On the contrary, many of the recent investigations which employed enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), mass spectrometry, and Western blot analysis reported that PEP did not thoroughly destroy the whole gluten proteins (Allred et al., 2017; Colgrave et al., 2017; Fiedler et al., 2018; Panda et al., 2015), which indicates that beers treated with PEP are not safe for celiac disease patients. Anecdotally, this excerpt supports what we hear from the celiac community on this forum with regard to "gluten free" hydrolyzed wheat products and that is that some still react to them while many don't.

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is that you still could increase your risk of various related diseases and disorders by eating gluten, but again, celiac disease remission has not been studies enough to know what health risks you might face.
