Centrum Vitamin Giving Me Trouble?

I took a centrum vitamin today and I am very bloated and gassy this evening. I was recently diagnosed and haven't met with my dr. again to discuss vitamin/mineral therapy. I think I will wait until my appt. to see what she says (May 9th). Has anyone else had this problem. I'm wondering if it will be like that in the beginning?

As always, I'm looking forward to your input.

I read Centrum as being ok and Centrum Silver is what I take. I was taking a baby aspirin as well every day and found that to be the culprit as it is buffered with flour. Switched aspirin to Bayers. See https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=285

for centrum listing, Junior was listed as possibly containing gluten.

Hi Lisa Ann,

sorry, but I didn't see your post until today. I recently spoke with the people at Centrum to find out about their vitamins. Since I have trouble swallowing pills, I wanted to use one of their chewable formulas. They told me that all of their vitamins are gluten-free EXCEPT Centrum Silver Chewables. It is a new product, and at this time, they have not determined its status as far as to whether it contains gluten or is gluten-free. Hope this helps.

Paula :)

Thanks for the info Paula on chewable Centrum Silver. Just goes to show you that you can't be too careful of each and every product. And maybe that we can trust out 'gut reaction' to products.

      Getting sick much more often

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour...

      Hi there @Sanna King! I am talking about contracting colds/flu, not gluten reactions. Sorry if I did not make that clear. My stomach symptoms have improved vastly since changing my diet. But I contract colds way more often than I ever had before.

      New to celiacs but noticed until I began having the symptoms that drove me to the doctor & investigation that led to diagnosis, I did not get sick really at all. Now it’s non-stop. And I have at least one flair up about every two weeks. Admittedly probably due to learning the ropes on cross contamination and pot label reading skills, but to go from no symptoms to a near constant battle is perplexing. Will be following this convo to see what conclusions are drawn.

      Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing as me. Literally ever since I went 100% gluten free and started eating the cleanest I have ever ate in my life, I get sick WAY more often than I ever did prior to my diagnosis and being gluten free. I almost dont rememebr ever getting sick before. Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger? Really interested to see if anyone has any insight on this. Thank you!
