Shaklee Products

I just heard from a friend who recommend that I try Shaklee products. I've been on the gluten-free diet for 1 1/2 years now and still have very elevated antibodies. She swears by them. But she also said that they would cure all my problems, which I know is not true. I think she's trying to be helpful and optimistic but doesn't understand celiac disease.

What are your thoughts on these products?

A good multi vitamin and some probiotics will help carry you toward good health.

Lisa, is there a reason why you don't recommend their products? I can see by their quotes that I wouldn't trust them either.

I'm worried about taking any supplements these days because of possible cross contamination.

I'm certain that you can find safe recommendations from members here who take supplements without issues of cross contamination. Cross contamination is not as great a concern as some indicate it as such.

I am not comfortable with companies who recruit membership to market their products, that profess a remedy to good health, from people who are ill or know someone else, for an extraordinary amount of money. :huh:

I used to buy Shaklee's breakfast powder... similar to Instant Breakfast but w/o all the additives and crap. My kids loved it mixed with milk and it was a good quick breakfast on those crazy mornings. I bought it from a woman who actually had a Shaklee store. Sure, she tried to get me to be a distributor, but I knew the game and just kept telling her I wasn't interested.

All that said... that was 15-20 years ago... long before me or my 3 daughters were diagnosed w/ celiac... so I can't attest to the stuff being good for celiacs at all.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
