One thing that I am really missing is vegemite! Vegemite on toast has been my comfort food since I was little. I have tried mightymite, but the taste and texture is so wrong... are there any other options?

Freedom Foods used to make something called vege spread. Personally I like mightymite better. It does take awhile to get used to the taste. I usually mix it in with the butter, it helps with the texture.

I did a bit more research, I think that our mate is gluten free. It is sold as marmite in the UK. It is available from some coles stores. Ensurre that it our mate and not the sanitarium branded marmite which is manufactured in NZ and not gluten-free.

I will look out for Our Mate and FF vege spread. Maybe I'm just hoping for too much. I have been gluten free for about 9 months, maybe I will like mighty mite better after my memories of vegemite have faded more.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
