My Vitamins contain Barley Grass. Is this a big no no? It also contains Spirulina and Chlorella as well as barley grass all listed under "Green Foods".

Barley grass in my old vitamins made me sick. I wouldn't take them. Give them to a friend, I'm sure they were expensive. ;)

Carla is correct. Barley grass is on the list of official no-nos.

I discovered my vitamins have Barley grass in them. Does anyone know of a good quality vitamin that is gluten, soy, milk, egg, corn, free, and no colors, solvents, flavors, perservatves or binders? I posted yesterday but couldn't find my post. I'm new and will make sure I stay on line for my answer this time. Sorry and thanks. - Anne

Anne--

I found your other thread and merged the two together.

It had been moved to the products and medication forum.

You can always look at the "View New Post" to find your topic.

I'm currently taking THORNE Meta-Fem. Only one I could find that met ALL my allergy criteria. (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, almonds, etc. etc. etc.)

www.Vitamins4You.com or www.PSLChiro.com I've ordered them twice and they came fast.

Anne; I have had good luck with Twinlab Allergy Multi caps.They say they are highest quality multi vitamin and mineral supplement available. No coloring,bindres or coatings; no added flavorings, sodium chlorides, artificial seeteners or preservatives. Free of common allergens such as fish, fish oils,iodine, wheat, yeast,, barley, rice, lactose, milk, egg, citrus, bioflavonoids, amino acid chelates, mineral gluconates and citrates are avoided as theses are drived from soy, barley, corn, potato, milk, egg and yeast. Wish you the best. evie

The Freeda brand is gluten-free, and Source Naturals has a number of items for which they specify no gluten, wheat, soy, corn, etc. Nature's Bounty has some too I think. I find most brands either don't say much or stop short of actually saying gluten-free, even when they might say wheat-free.

I've started to take Multisure for women (can buy them at Shoppers drugmart). They're made in Canada by WN Pharmaceuticals. www.webbersnaturals.com 1-800-430-7898

They are gluten free (and I called to ask)---the hydrolyzed vegetable protein is from rice. It doesn't contain corn starch as an ingredient either.

But it is not 100% free from corn. I'm guessing one of the vitamins are derived from corn. Corn is a difficult one to avoid---even the vitamin A and D preparations in milk are from corn. (well, not the vitamins themselves I don't think, but corn oil is used as a carrier. even in organic milk. I know Harmony Organics is working on finding a supplier that uses another type of oil, but the last time I checked, they hadn't succeeded!)

It isn't free from soy either--again, soy isn't in the ingredients, but the company tells me the vitamins are not soy free. Often vitamin E is derived from soy, so I'm guessing that is the case here.

Actually, my allergist at first told me *not* to have these vitamins----a lot of people with a soy allergy are fine with highly refined versions of soy (like vitamin E) but some people are not. My allergist didn't want me to take a risk (I'm anaphylactic to soy), but when I asked a dietician about whether corn-free, soy-free, nut-free, egg-free, gluten free vitamins are available, she said no. So my allergist had me try the vitamin in his office just in case. Thankfully I don't react!

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
