I'm a newly diagnosed celiac and am in the process of checking all of my medications. I have been on Juice Plus vitamins and called the manufacturer because the label lists "Juice powder and pulp from...barley bran, oat bran... The comapny told me that there vitamins are Gluten free. Can they really be if they have the ingredients listed? SO CONFUSED!!!!

NO!!! Barley bran and oat bran are NOT safe for celiacs! I don't know what that company thinks it's doing claiming that those vitamins are gluten-free. (Barley, wheat, and rye GRASSES are theoretically safe for us, BUT cross-contamination is way too likely for me to actually choose to consume any.) I hope this helps!

Knudsen brand juices come highly recommended from my nutritionist and I love the apple - it tastes like cider. I bought others to try, but I think you'll like it.

Good luck,

Lily

I think it depends on who you talk to in the company. A lot of people do not know what gluten is, and since it doesn't say GLUTEN right there on the ingredients list, then they say it is gluten free. If the label says barley bran, then it is not gluten-free. The oats thing is still up in the air as far as it's gluten-free status, but the risk that it was contaminated in the factory is pretty high. I would say, look for a different kind of vitamin. I've heard Freeda's are gluten-free, and many GNC products are also gluten-free.

God bless,

Hello,

I contacted Juice Plus directly through their website and received the following response. Can anyone verify that the "Tepnel ELISA AOAC 991.19" testing methodology they refer to as well as the "Codex Alimentarius Commission" standard are approved by the celiac disease and GIG communities? Or can you point me to a web site which verifies this? It sounds totally legitimate, but I just want to make sure they are using gluten-free oats. Update: The newer JP Garden Blend only has "Oat Bran" listed and no longer lists Barley as an ingredient.

Hello,

Juice Plus+® products are regularly tested using Tepnel ELISA methodology (AOAC

method 991.19) for the presence of gluten, and they can be classified according to

the Codex Alimentarius Commission standard as gluten-free. All of our Juice Plus+®

products are under the limit proposed by the FDA for gluten-free foods, less than 20

parts per million.

Should we make any changes to your account today?

Thank you,

Juice Plus+® Customer Care

Original Question:

> Comments: Hi, I just started my family on JP and we are loving it.

> However, my son has Celiac Disease and since the product contains

barley and oats, grains known to be cross-contaminated by wheat

> crops, I've decided to take him off JP. Can someone verify that

> Juice Plus chewables are "Certified Gluten Free"? Thank you so

> much.

My doctor is a big pusher of Juice Plus vitamins. He swears they are gluten-free and safe. I don't believe what comes out of people's mouths for the most part, but I can tell you I am fine taking them.

Let me guess, your doc SELLS JuicePlus, right?

IMO, JP is a scam. ANY product that is sold via Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is always overpriced, underperforming and a waste of $$.

Sorry, but if the product(s) is so good, they'd be sold EVERYWHERE. A company wouldn't need to do it through folks that have to recruit their relatives and friends to buy.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
