Any Truly Gluten-free, Green Food Supplements?

Ok, well...seeing as I don't think the supplements I've bought are truly gluten-free, my next question is: Does anyone know of a really great, gluten-free, green food supplement. I would really like to include something like this in my diet, but I don't want to risk any gluten contamination. If anyone knows of anything like this, I would LOVE to know about it.

Thanks so much.

I'm sorry...but what is a green food suppliment?

I'm pretty sure GNC has what you're looking for. A lot of their products are gluten free, but if not it will say on packaging. I did a search and they have GNC Natural Brand

Green Earth Food, With Natural Vitamins, Minerals, and Enzymes, Tablets 180 ea

available at drugstore.com. They usually have free shipping with a minimum purchase of $25 or $50. Hope that works for you.

Thanks for your replies. I will look into the GNC stuff. I also got an email back from the company that produces a type of green food product. They stated in the email that:

"...All the grasses and sprouts in greens+ are harvested at a tender age before any gluten is formed. You can rest assured the product contains absolutely no gluten. I hope this answers your question and please do not hesitate to write back if you have any further inquiries."

They seem pretty sure that there is no gluten in the product, but I am still not sure. They are a very reputable company. What do you think??

Thanks!

I use Greener Grasses from Healthforce Nutritionals. It says on the outside bottle gluten free and it's never given me problems. I take it every morning with a little bit of stevia powder. Often I also add it in smoothies with bananas, blueberries and coconut milk. I would recomend googling greener grasses+healthforce nutritionals, as I don't have the bottle on me right now. Good luck!.

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
