Juice Plus

I have had three different people approach me about using these new Juice Plus vitamin suppliments.

None of the people are pushy but, I am a little leary about their claim that most people don't absorb regular "pill" form vitamins.

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks-

I think a lot of the Juice Plus claims are unsubstianted. Plus they are frightfully expensive. I believe some of the vitamins contain barley and oats so I would question their gluten-free status.

My mom has been a distributor for over 10 yrs. and I have taken them on and off. If I remember correctly, there is pretty substantial research behind them....independent, from what I recall. They have removed the oats and barley and claim to be gluten free. I have not had a problem with them.

Two of my doctors recommend them as well. It definitely can't hurt....because it's like eating the whole food, you get all of the vitamins, phytonutrients, etc. that God intended us to get from the food itself.

Thanks for the info. I never saw any prices so, I'm glad to know they are a higher ticket item before I inquire further.

If you decide to move forward verify that they've removed the oats and barley and that they are indeed gluten-free as their website still lists questionable ingredients and does not mention their gluten-free status. The cost is $41.75 per month which is about $500 per year.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
