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.

Thanks! I was reading about the barely grass but I think the risk of CC is too high for me to be comfortable with, Thanks for advce

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.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
