Hi Listmates,
 
I am trying to lower my blood sugars by using a green drink to go more  
alkaline.  I purchased an expensive green powder, by Barleans, which is  labeled 
gluten free.
 
The ingredients of the powder include:  wheat grass, barley grass, oat  grass 
and rye grass.  When I called the company, they said they harvest the  
grasses before the grain develops and it is safe.  
Their response and I quote:
 
Hello  Jill,
 
Thank  you for contacting us. We have the product tested for gluten in a 
third party  lab. The formula tests out at  <5 parts per million. This is the 
lowest  detection the lab is able to offer us. 
The  limit to be considered “gluten free” is  <20 ppm in the  USA. 
The  grasses are harvested before the stage that the grass shoot is able to 
produce  gluten. 
I  am surprised that you had a reaction—did you take a full dose or just 
place a  little on your tongue? Please share any info you can—we know how 
important it is  for celiac to avoid gluten. 
Best  of Health, 
Alene 
Has anyone had experience with green powders or Barleans  specifically?   
Thank you for your attention and I will summarize. 
Sincerely, 
Jill
