Thankyou And Garden Of Life Products

[kristenroman]

Thankyou so much for the encouragement. I truly appreciate the time you have taken to care about me!

Yesterday I had a better day. Even one good day is a blessing! Because of stomach upset I rarely take vitamins. But when I was visiting in the States I bought Garden of Life probiotic formula and digestive enzymes. But then I read they have Barleygrass and Oatgrass. Is that ok? I hate to waste them, but I`m nervous about taking them. And is there a good vitamin/mineral supplement that is easy on the stomach? also is it the lactose in dairy that causes the problems? Is lactose free milk ok to drink? Hey, guess what I found yesterday? Some Nature`s Path products! I found gluten free animal cookies and gorilla munch cereal! How fun is that? I don´t eat alot of sweets, but it`s nice to have in case of a craving. I couldn´t believe it when I saw them. That`s what I call heaven`s kisses. THey are the little things in life that make you smile and you know God is with you.

Thanks again to all!

Blessing, Kristen

Do you have someone you can give your Garden of Life products to? You can't take them ... at one point they were the "hidden" gluten in my life and once I eliminated them I started getting better.

I like Wild Oats brand vitamins because they're clearly labeled gluten free and dairy free (if they are gluten and dairy free).

Some of us are sensitive to the casein rather than the lactose. It all depends on what you have a problem with if the lactose free milk will bother you.

That barley grass was a problem for me. Technically, the grass part of the plant doesn't have gluten, only the grain. BUT, with harvesting and all there's always some seed that gets into the mix, so it's not pure grass. I should think that the same problem pertains to oat grass and wheat grass.

I can't tell you how many products I have given/thrown away as I learned more and more how to find hidden gluten. I use many Wild Oats brand supplements purely because of their labeling. They list all the things the product does not contain.

I thought that greens mixes with wheat and barley grass were ok, since there is no gluten in the grasses?? That is the info I have read. Could someone clarify??
