Vitamins! Unsafe?

Hi!

I'm still pretty new to this, so it seems daily i am finding more and more things that are supposedly not safe or gluten-free!

I was reading the "Forbidden foods/ingredients" list and was surprised to find that VITAMINS were on it ( i know it had a "4" next to it ) , but FORBIDDEN?

or just certain types?

i lost 50 pounds and was pretty weak and malnourished, and am STILL not feeling like i am getting much better, but then again i keep finding foods/ingredients that i thought were safe but maybe are not.

my health has been very up and down and am still getting sick alot.

i am really trying to stay gluten-free, but all these damn HIDDEN ingredients are killing me...literally huh?

I have been taking "One-a-Days" daily to try and get more vitamins and nutrients in me, but is this just hurting me more?

Any advice would help, or if you Celiacs know of any specicif "safe" Multivitamins I should be taking, please share!

Thanks

Frustrated! :angry:

I found one at GNC - Liquid Mega Multi Vitamin - gluten-free, SF, CF, Yeast Free, etc...There is also a brand that is "safe" (always read the ingredients!!!) at health food stores but I forget the name.

Not sure where the vitamin thing came from but a fair number of multivitamins are gluten-free. Apparently SOME vtiamin E can have a wheat carrier or somehting.

One A Day is gluten-free. You definitely need to be taking vitamins. You probably want to add in a B12 or B complex.

thanks!

yeah, the "vitamin thing" came from a list of Forbidden Food and Ingredients from this site! but there is a *sidenote* that said this.."4) Can utilize a gluten-containing grain or by-product in the manufacturing process, or as an ingredient. "..so its a little vague!

Thanks, i'm glad One-a-Day is safe, cause i've been popping them, you know? ..One...a....

I think the main vitamin concern is that vitamin E can be made with wheat germ or something like that.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
