Prob A Silly Question But Is Wheatgrass...

is wheatgrass safe or no? i am looking at it in a shampoo. i am having a terrible rash in my head and around my hairline which i think is caused by my current shampoo and conditioner with wheat in both...the product so far looks safe other than the wheatgrass?

just think like buckwheat isn't wheat, and wheat is a grain not a grass right? --I am thoroughly confusing myself.... :blink: java script:emoticon(':blink:', 'smid_7')

from what I've read, wheatgrass is considered gluten-free, BUT it is still part of the wheat plant, even though it doesn't have the evil protein gluten, it may still affect you badly. You may also be allergic to wheat in general aside from a gluten problem.

buckwheat is not wheat at all, it's not even a grain, it's a berry (part of the rhubarb family)

yes it can all be confusing. some people who are gluten-free tolerate wheatgrass just fine, me, I won't risk it at all because my reactions to miniscule amounts of gluten are so severe I don't want to take a chance that the wheatgrass was contaminated with the part of the grain with the protein gluten in it.

well with this nasty rash in my hair thats creeping down my forehead I don't think i'll risk it either. I think on the one hand it has to be the wheat in the shampoo and conditioner. i also have the rash down my back a bit but not as bad- but then on the other; why is it bothering me now? Never ever had this rash before going gluten free now all of a sudden it bothers me? weird.

thanks for the fast response...

I wouldn't trust that none of the wheatgrass hadn't gone to seed! I know I react to wheat grass and barley grass.

Accidentally reported.

Question from eileen.e.wells

I also have a question about grasses...

I want to start taking a "greens" product called Vitamineral Green.

It's a powder you add to juice or smoothies. However, it has "whole leaf barley grass" and "whole leaf wheat grass." Also something called "barley grass juice."

Any insight? Could I just see how it makes me feel?

My sister is celiac and a dietician. She discussed wheat grass with a supplier and he could not give her a definite answer--she says to avoid it at all costs because the jury is still out on this one.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.
