I guess this USANA company is kind of like Avon - you go to parties to buy their products. They claim to treat all kinds of stuff, including helping celiacs recover from their symptoms. Has anyone heard of this or have any info to pass along?

Thanks!

Yuyp, I'm taking them. My dad got them for after hearing how yucky I was feeling. He just ordered from their website, I think. I was getting all kinds of weird things going on with my body, and after taking them three weeks, I feel alot better. I think I'm taking the "essentials blend".

Since these were just kind of passed along to me, I don't think I've been influenced by expectations or marketing, but I really do feel better. My dad has been taking them, and he said he's noticed an improvement in his workouts.

Honestly, the least you can do is give it a shot. I've heard you are supposed to notice a difference in your health in two weeks, but I would try it a month before you switch to something else.

I am a Usana distributor so I am a bit uncomfortable about replying to your message. I don't want to sell you anything, but just explain a bit about Usana. They don't claim to cure anything. Any nutritionist will tell you that with optimal nutrition our bodies are able to resolve many ailments themselves. Usana products help people to achieve optimal nutrition.

They are sometimes sold at 'parties', but I found them on the internet. Many people are introduced to them through friends or family like Rachel was.

Rachel pretty much summed it up - give it a try - but please consult you physician if you do.

Best of health to you,

Brenda

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.

      Thank you! This is very helpful. Quick followup: what is your recommendation re: gluten-free prepared foods (labeled gluten-free or certified gluten-free) during this time of being more strict about eating gluten-free? Is it necessary to eat only whole foods prepared at home, or is it safe to include prepared / packaged foods in her diet (I'm thinking particularly of snack foods)?

      Is blending same as cold press? Is there any juice recipe you tried that you feel helped like the ginger turmeric? Is there a brand turmeric powder you used etc? I used Aloe vera years ago but the taste is hard to get down. What are your go to juices you made?
