They claim that their products are gluten-free. The person doing the demo meeting tonight said that the Celiac Sprue Association did testing and it was gluten free. I still don't know if I agree with that because the "veggie tablet" has barley and oats. Has anyone heard of this product? Any info would be greatly appreicative. Thanks.

I would doubt that it's OK. There would be a high risk of contamination. I asked a similar question not long ago, but can't remember the title of the post. Someone explained that the oats or barley grass could still have a kernel of grain and that would contaminate the product.

Be cautious until you get a definitive answer from someone here who has more experience with this.

I am glad to see this post!! I was just invited to a "Juice Plus Party". My neighbor's mom sells it. It is this Monday night. I was afraid to go because of so many vitimans having gluten. My neighbor swears by it and is convinced that it will help me. I am glad that she is thinking of me, but at the same time, it is hard to explain the details of it when people don't want to know.

I'll just play it by ear I guess!!

Thanks for the answers. The lady doing this had information on paper and said that she has researched it because she has an uncle who is a celiac. I still don't want to try it. She did have free samples to try, I passed because I really didn't want the after effects(Didn't want to chance it). I have been feeling pretty good lately and I don't want to slide down the ladder!! I might try and see if I can find the other post. Again thanks for answering my question.

I would SO love to try Juice Plus, but I haven't for the same reasons! I have a son whom I suspect has DH (soon to be tested), and he could really use a good vitamin. If anyone gets a definite answer about Juice Plus, please post it! I would love to find out that they truly are gluten free!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
