Someone here recomended Rainbow Light Prenatal Vitamins. I got a bottle, and on the back, in VERY small print, it lists Wheat Grass (300 mg) and Barley Grass (300 mg). I know some people consider wheat grass to be gluten free, but there was a recent article about how wheat grass may contain gluten, and should be avoided (I think it was in Living Without). I think it would be better to be safe than sorry! The bottle I got was Complete Prenatal System, by Rainbow Light.

Please share this info! I don't know if they changed their formula, and I don't want someone to pick it up and just trust it because they are used to it!!!!

Thanks for sharing the info. Those are probably good things to check for in most of Rainbow Light's vitamins. They've got a lot of gluten free stuff, but they put wheat grass and barley grass in a few items. :o

I'm sorry about your vitamins Tiffany.

I use Freeda prenatals. They have a whole range of different vitamins.

One Source prenatals are gluten free. I think you can only get them at Wal-mart. They were relatively inexpensive and they were labeled gluten free right on the bottle.

I don't think Rainbow Light Prenatals contain gluten. They say they are gluten-free on the box and I don't see any of the ingredients you are worried about on my package. Are you taking the Rainbow light "Prenatal One" multivitamin?

I don't remember which one it was, and I took it back to Whole Foods, so I don't have the bottle, but I had it next to the computer screen when I was typing the post. I know it was Rainbow Light, and it was the prenatal. I remember that they wanted me to take SEVERAL a day, so I don't think it was a "one" multi. Sorry I don't still have the bottle!!! I just remember reading the label, and after all of the vitamins, and the "extra stuff", there was a spot for wheat and barley. It was in the right hand side, at the very bottom.

Thats ok! I'm fine. I really only took a couple (I can never remember to take those pesky vitamins!). I got GNC's again. I used to use those, and switch, and I just went back. They say gluten free right on the label, along with suger free, soy free, dairy free, etc. Works for me!

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By glucel · Posted

      Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has several ingredients if identified gluten-free.

      Absolutel liquor

      By Doug1229 · Posted

      All liquor that has been distilled are gluten-free because the liquor is captured from evaporation. Gluten is a heavy protein that will not evaporate make it safe for all celiac’s. cheers!

      Ground meats can contain flavorings and fillers. You must look for the gluten-free symbol on the packaging. I use Jennie-O brands which are marked gluten-free.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.

      9 year old- questionable results

      You should also have her checked for vitamin deficiencies.   "Iodine's presence in the diet can contribute positively to hair strength and elasticity by maintaining hair follicle cycling and supporting the synthesis of hair shaft components like keratin. Keratin is strong and won't dissolve in diluted acids, alkalines, solvents, or water" "Keratosis pilaris is a benign skin condition characterized by small bumps around hair follicles. It is caused by excess keratin, a protein that forms hair, nails, and skin. Iodine is not directly related to keratosis pilaris, but certain foods can help improve it" It could be deficiency in iodine may be causing the keratosis Polaris.  Insufficient iodine intake affects healing, intellegence skin and nails. The average intake of iodine fell 50% from 1970 to now.  A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will indicate intake.  TSH and T4 will not show iodine intake deficiency until damage is being done. Most newly diagnosed Celiac Disease and other autoimmune diseases are deficient in vitamin D when diagnosed.  Other than bone growth, vitamin D is essential for mental health and the immune system.
