Label says:

People's Choice

Natural Vitamins

Daily Multiple with Iron

Ingredients: (besides the vitamins) Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Paba, Hydroxyproyl Methylcellulose, Polyethylene Glycol, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Yellow #6, and Titanium Dioxide.

It says it has no ADDED: sugar, yeast, soy, corn, wheat, dairy, gluten, egg, fragrance, artificial flavors and preservatives.

That doesn't neccarily mean it's gluten-free though right?

AND is vitamin E safe? I saw a thread about it possibly containing wheat germ oil...I was confused and didn't understand it. Can someone explain that?

Thanks

I buy vitamins that say that and I think they are gluten free. What would be the point of them saying they don't add gluten if they weren't gluten free? Maybe the company is just trying to be careful about saying gluten-free because of CC issues. It might be the same as companies saying food is "made with gluten free ingredients". Many companies are afraid of saying gluten free.

I talked to my mom about the Vitamin E/wheat germ oil thing and she said that if Vitamin E is from wheat germ oil, it will probably say on the label. She sells vitamins (she is a chiropractor) so she reads a lot of vitamin labels. A lot of people look for wheat germ oil specifically, so the company would probably want to advertise that. I'm not saying that you can be 100% that Vitamin E is gluten free if it doesn't say from wheat germ oil on the container, but it will probably say where the vitamin E is from. I am going to ask her to ask the company she orders from next time she calls them. HTH

:huh: What brand? I couldn't find "People's Choice" anywhere (well, not anywhere - amazon and drugstore.com and google :P ) So is that the brand name, or something different? The ingredients certainly look gluten-free.

You can get E that specifically says gluten-free if you're worried about cc.

I use Nature Made. From their Vit E label -

"No Artificial Colors

No Artificial Flavors

No Preservatives

No Chemical Solvents, Yeast, Starch or Gluten.

Vitamin E softgels made to USP and Nature Made's guaranteed purity and potency standards."

" Polyethylene Glycol"? You call that natural? Good lord. You should take Twin Lab. They are made for highly sensitive and allergic people so there's mostly rice base in them. All the ones I asked them about were gluten free. I took the Daily Ones and they changed the formula and now they have citrus in them!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :angry: I take the Allergy Multiples by them.

I have called three times to different companies of manufactured vit and got an answer within minutes.

Go shopping, write down the 1-800 # and call. It takes minutes.

Not many of us can read the looooong words that they put in vit's, but it does not take long to find out. :)

Been around for over a year and I'm still learning. :)

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
