Not all "gluten free" labeled foods are created equally...and most do still contain small amounts of gluten. "Gluten free" labeling allows as much as 20ppm of gluten, which can be very harmful for some of us, probably all of us.
I loved Tiniyada, but I can't eat it. Your vitamins may contain gluten. I use Jarrow for my B12, Nature Made for my multi, Natrol for my melatonin and Easy C, and I was using Spring Valley for my Vit D, but they recently changed it, now it is a gel cap and contains soy, so I can no longer use it. Any meds you are taking can contain gluten too, always call the company, never trust a website like glutenfreedrugs.com, they do not update often enough, and they also are not including generics. The fillers in meds and vitamins are generally the problem.
It's a huge learning curve, and I know you will figure it all out.

All of my supplements are gluten free. The only 2 that I can't determined due to the lack of knowledge of terms indicating gluten are the bottles from "Doctors Best"
Benfotiamin 150mg list:
"Modified cellulose (vegetarian capsule), cellulose, silicon dioxide.
Contains nothing other than listed ingredients."
Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid list:
"Modified cellulose (vegetarian capsule), rice powder, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), and silicon dioxide.
Suitable for vegetarians.
Contains nothing other than listed ingredients."
Right now I'm just sticking to whole rice, fruits, fish, poultry and vegies. That's it. Basically other then all the hidden gluten this is what I've always eaten oh and breads.
Thanks for the tips!
