Primal Defense Probiotic gluten-free?


Kathleen Smith

Recommended Posts

Kathleen Smith Contributor

Hi everyone,

Is Primal Defense gluten free? It says gluten free on the bottle but also says "Barley Grass"??? I know it has been talked about before on here, so just wondering what the outcome was. Anyone take it? Any advice on probiotics, I have never taken them before??

My bloodwork is all really, really good!! But my intestines are still scalloped (year and a half later). I feel good when I ONLY eat at home but on the occassion I go out (to gluten free places) I tend to get nauseous for days. Also having constipation problems.

THanks for any advice in advance, hope everyone is well :-)

Barley Grass? I'd run.

I take Renew Life Flora Smart. Love it. Do you have a Super Supplement near you? That is where I get it! :)

Good luck!

There is supposedly no gluten in barley grass, but how do you know it didn't get any from the seeds? I wouldn't trust it. I've taken FermPlus and liked it. Lately my grocery store started getting Yakult so I'm trying that.

Good luck Skylark!! :)

Thanks. :) The Yakult tastes pretty good at least. I had to take an antibiotic for bronchitis and I always need a good probiotic after to get back to feeling completely well. I try to avoid antibiotics but I really, really needed one this time around.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
