Hi trellborg, if a supplement made my back ache I'd stop taking it rather than take painkillers. So I'd look for a multivitamin that agree with you and or better still try and get plenty of vitamins from your diet. 

I checked out Wellman ingredients for their original vitamin supplement and it's quite a list and appears gluten free from a codex point of view. But I see it contains modified starch,sucrose and glucose. 

I found with calcium supplements I got lower back ache because my kidneys had to work harder to get rid of the excess calcium carbonate as we only absorb a fraction of it, so I stopped taking them. 

Ingredients

Bulking Agent: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid [Carrier: Glyceryl Tristearate]), Magnesium Oxide, L-Carnitine Tartrate, Tablet Coating (Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Hydroxypropylcellulose, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Natural Source Colours [Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides]), Zinc Sulphate, Vitamin E (D Alpha Tocopheryl Acid Succinate) (from Soya), Niacin (Nicotinamide), Thiamin (Vitamin B1 as Mononitrate), Silicon Dioxide, L-Arginine, L-Methionine, Para Amino Benzoic Acid, Ferrous Fumarate, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Pantothenic Acid (as Calcium Salt), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl), Vitamin A (Acetate, [Carriers: Gum Acacia, Sucrose, Starch, Tricalcium Phosphate, Antioxidant: DL-Alpha Tocopherol]), Natural Mixed Carotenoids (Betacarotene, Modified Starch, Corn Starch, Glucose Syrup, Antioxidants: DL-Alpha Tocopherol, Sodium Ascorbate), Manganese Sulphate, Anti-Caking Agents: Silicon Dioxide & Magnesium Stearate, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Riboflavin, Siberian Ginseng Extract, Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol [Carriers: Acacia, Sucrose, Corn Starch, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Antioxidant: DL-Alpha Tocopherol]), Copper Sulphate, Co-Enzyme Q10, Folic Acid (as Pteroylmonoglutamic Acid), Sodium Selenate, Chromium Trichloride, Potassium Iodide, Biotin, Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin).

If you asked the gastroenterologist they'd say paracetamol as NSAIDS  and asprin can damage the gut (paracetamol just poisons the liver!)

Hope you've got an appointment with the dentist!
