Shopko Vitamins

Hello-

I have been searching for reasonably priced vitamins that are gluten, soy, dairy and corn free. Obviously it has been bit of a chore LOL! Anyway, I was in Shopko one day and decided I might as well check out what they offered. I picked up the Shopko brand vits and to my surprise, they were actually allergen labeled! Their multi "Centra-Vite with Lutein & Lycopene" was labeled "Contains No Added sugar, dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, preservatives, artificial flavors". There were many others, but I also was interested in a "B-Complex 100" labeled "Contains No Added sugar, salt, dairy, yeast, wheat, corn, soy, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors". I was a little concerned that "gluten" was missing from the B Complex label and that I didn't know what "Contains no Added" meant, so I emailed the company. It took a little back and forth to eventually get to the manufacturer, so I'm not including it all, but here is part of the email:

Hi Jennifer,

Your answer below: let me know if you have additional questions. Our company always leans on the conservative side for safety.

Hello Loraine,

Although the B-complex products do not contain wheat, we have been reluctant to claim it is

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Beverage · Posted

      As Scott suggests, look into dermatitis herpetiformis. Also the rash there could be from SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or candida. If your regular doc won't investigate those possibilities, consider going to a naturopathic doc or integrative medicine doc.

      The forms of vitamins really mattered for me, maybe not for everyone but very much for me. Learned so much here. This b12, recommended by @Ennis-TX has really helped me since diagnose.  I can tell when i run out that i don't feel as good. LIQUIDHEALTH Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Liquid Drops with Sublingual Hydroxocobalamin - Boost Energy, Support Immune System, Improve Memory & Concentration - Vegan, Sugar Free, Non-GMO (2 Pack) https://a.co/d/c3cxXt7   i also had RLS, one of my few noticeable symptoms before diagnosis. It rears up when I slack off the supplements or drink wine. I found 2 of these a day keeps it at bay, get it very rarely now: Limited-time deal: ANDREW LESSMAN Circulation & Vein Support for Healthy Legs 60 Capsules - High Bioactivity Diosmin, Butcher's Broom, Visibly Reduces Swelling & Discomfort in Feet, Ankles, Calves, Legs https://a.co/d/7int9i9   I also take the procapslabs.com b complex, it has the methyl forms, which makes a difference for me: ANDREW LESSMAN High Potency B-Complex 180 Capsules - with High Levels of Folate Complex & Biotin, Promotes Cellular Growth, Energy, Immune Function, Detoxification, Fat Metabolism & More https://a.co/d/4fkAmFx   I also take extra thiamine, in form benfotiamine, as recommended by @knitty kitty which tremendously helped asthma.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your son has two positive blood tests for celiac disease, plus a positive biopsy for it...why hasn't your doctor diagnosed him with celiac disease, which is the most likely diagnosis based on the test results you shared? The next step should be a gluten-free diet, which your doctor already recommended.

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

      I am glad to hear you are not taking acid blocking meds as they increase gut PH which inhibits mineral absorption which, in turn, often causes the body to rob it's own bones of the calcium it needs for various metabolic processes. I was asking about that because acid reflux is very common in the celiac community.
