Oat And Rye Grass

[Mballerina]

This is in Udo's Greens which i have to take. Since these are the grasses and not the grains is it ok?

I don't think so.....somebody made some post about getting sick by walking through those grasses, or something.......so I think not, but somebody else can tell you for CERTAIN.

The whole process of sprouting a grass from the seed grain isn't a hard science. The gluten proteins are "used up" in the process of growing the grass. But this isn't a step function, it's an asymptotic process. You approach "no gluten" over the course of the growing of the grass, but there's always a question of where in the process you are. In theory, if NOTHING but the grass is harvested, it shouldn't be a problem, because the gluten is only in the seed, but many methods of growing may not be as precise as that. In the end, it's a risk you've got to weigh.

Thank you so much for that.

That is what i thought and i wasn't sure.

This is an Udo's product and he has expressed some research into the safety of his products for celiacs. However he didn't discuss it directly for this product so i was not sure.
