Let's Do Sprinklez - Barley Grass Ingredient

I bought a case of Let's Do Sprinklez from amazon because I couldn't find any sprinkles I was comfortable with. They just came and I noticed they have barley grass powder. I know barley grass is technically gluten-free because the protein is in the grain, but the risk of cross contamination seems really high. Does anyone use these??

I never heard of them before but would not feel comfortable using them.

I have *no idea* why they would want to or think to use barley grass powder. Weirdos.

I know! I'm so irritated - one with myself for not checking the label before shelling out $17 for stupid sprikles. It was a late night purchase. Kiddo's birthday is coming up and I'm making cake pops. I really wanted to decorate them with sprinkles. I kept looking locally for just one package. Then late one night I decided to just buy them. I figured they'd keep forever and I could actually use them for Christmas cookies, cupcakes, etc. GRRRR!!! What a stupid waste of money! WHY would you do that?? The stupid things are practically white anyway for any color they might have added why bother! Again, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! :angry:

Is there any way you can return them? If not you could donate them to a food pantry and if you itemize your taxes you could deduct them.

OK, these sprinkles have become the joke of our house. I keep walking past them in the kitchen and huffing. I didn't realize I was doing it until my hubby said, "You should just move them somewhere else." I agreed, but didn't do anything about them. Now they've disappeared. I have no idea where they went and I'm not going to try to find them!

Ravenwoodglass - good suggestion! I also thought about giving them to a couple friends who are into organic food but don't need gluten-free.

Stupid, ugly, barley grass, sprinkles!

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!
