Greens Powders

[chirunner]

I would like to use a greens powder, but a bit gun shy.

They told me at Garden of Life that Perfect Food is gluten free, but I had one serving and felt soooooo sick.

Barleans Greens told me theirs is also gluten free............and they would refund my money if it doesn't feel right.

Anybody had experience with any of these greens powders?

Thanks!

I feel horrible for you. Most greens powders claim they are gluten free but they use WHEAT GRASS!! They think since it's extracted that it won't effect anyone. But many people still have problems.

I have yet to find a wheat grass free greens which is bad.

Thanks Pyro, for your response. Sometimes I think I have it all figured out, and then my body goes wierd again! Thank goodness I have a juicer........at least, when I have the time, I can make a nice green juice that feels great

Have you thought to try a berry superfood instead? They make them and they're not bad. Usually out of a base of berries and grapes but the real superfoods are goji, noni, mangosteen, and lastly (but the biggest punch) acai berry. There is no other antioxidant food higher in the ORAC count than ACAI, but in order to sell in the US, it is pasteurized... don't know how much is lost through the process. Aronai (sp) is good also.

I used Rio-Vida for a while, but it has colostrum in it- as a warning (for general health for me and dh- it's my daughter who we're exploring Celiacs with).
