Hello all,

I feel like an interloper--my sprue tests, including
the biopsies, came back negative, but I get terrible
digestive and general reactions to gluten.  So I enjoy
all the great information that gets shared here, and
now I'm coming to you experts with my own question.

I've just begun a combination of natural hormone
replacement and thyroid therapy, and my doctor told me
to get a "B-100" (basically a comprehensive B-complex
vitamin) that's as food based as possible, since that
makes the vitamins more absorbable.  Unfortunately,
when I checked at the health food store, none of the
food-based vitamins state they are wheat or gluten
free, and enough clearly contain either barley or
wheat to make me nervous about the ones that don't
have an allergen statement.  I picked up a smaller
bottle of a standard health-food store B-100 vitamin
that is gluten free to get me by for now, but if any
of you know if a food-based one that's safe for us,
I'd love to hear about it!

I'll summarize, of course.

Lenore
