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.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!
