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!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
