Barlean's Greens - gluten-free?

My Whole Foods had a "Gluten Free Day" today so they had samples of a lot of gluten free products and vendors were there educating people. I came across one vendor that was from Barlean's. They have this Greens products that is supposed to detoxify and get rid of all akalines. The ingred. list contains wheat leaves, barley leaves, oat leaves, etc. but the label says "Gluten Free" on it. I talked to the rep at Whole Foods and they said that the leaves of these plants contain no gluten it is only in the grain. Here is the website to Barleans...it even says "This item DOES NOT contain Gluten".

What is everyone's thoughts on this? I did buy some, I guess I can try it out and see what happens. Would you do it?

I avoid these items. In theory, the gluten should be consumed by the metabolic processes of the plant by the time it reaches the stage where they're getting at the grasses (leaves?? the plants are grasses), but it's an asymptotic approach, and I personally have no desire to risk my intestinal health on someone else guessing when it's "close enough" to being "gluten free".

DO NOT EAT THIS STUFF!!! It says "Gluten Free" but that is a bit deceptive because it IS NOT WHEAT FREE. Wheat allergies are synonymous with gluten allergies. I had one scoop and it sent me into a horrid reaction. I was down for three days miserable. STAY AWAY!!!

The original post is almost 6 years old. Re-check any product info that is that old. Product ingredients and manufacturing practices change in that much time.

FYI, Celiac is not a " gluten allergy"

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Scott! Thanks You are really the master of this things! Thanks! One more question please, i did 2 EGD. In first EGD there was taken 2 samples from duodenum where they found MARSH 3b. In second EGD after 1year (i described in first post of this topic) they have taken multiple Samples from duodenum and jejenum. Would doctor GI and histology expert doctor see if there were like something serious like small bowel cancer or neoplasms(especially in histology)?

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.
