Anyone Try Celiact Multivitamin?

Just last month a company started selling a multivitamin that is specific to people with Celiac Disease called CeliAct. Has anyone tried this yet? Is it worth the $50 a month for it? I've been taking an off the shelf multivitamin that only costs me $15 for like a 4 month supply, so for me $50 a month is outrageous, but if it REALLY works and makes me feel better, I'll switch. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

After looking at the levels of the vitamins and comparing them to what I already take I realized I need more of some individual vitamins than they provide. So I would still need additional vitamins and for me just sticking with the ones I take was the more cost freindly option.

Yeah that's the thing I can't justify is the price, and it almost comes off like gouging to me because, yes, this is a unique blend for Celiacs, but they want $50 for one month's worth of pills, and even then you have to take 3 pills two times a day.

I would love to hear from a dietitian on this and see if this multivitamin is a load of garbage or not.

Sorry to bump an old thread. I too was interested in this vitamin when I saw the article written here on Celiac.com, but after speaking with them it seems there are allergens within that haven't been disclosed, such as eggs. Not sure why eggs were even used in the process (something I haven't seen), but the fact that they don't label any of the allergens outside of gluten makes it unappealing in itself to those of us who have other sensitivies/allergies.

Another problem with it is the fact that they put digestive enzymes in it as well, which need to be taken with every meal as far as I know, and that would lead you to splitting it into 2 times a day for three days. I thought the price was pretty fair for something with Probiotics and Enzymes in it as well as a multi tho. It really gets expensive, especially for a college student, to purchase all of them :(

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
