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.

Thank you for your help. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

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!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
