Dear List, I received the following message requesting information on
Barleygreen. I looked in the archives and couldn't find much on it,
just that someone thought they should have the product tested for gluten
content before trying it. If anyone has more recent information on the
gluten free status of this product, please let me know. Thanks.
Abigail

Dear Abigail,
I'm writing for my daughter, Janelle, who has had celiac disease for
probably 15 years. She is 48 and has other problems due to a pituitary
tumor removal 2 years ago. Her liver enzymes are too high, which is a
concern to her and her doctor. She is very strict with the celiac diet.
We understand that the product Barleygreen is very helpful in
replenishing cells and very easy to digest. We know of someone who had
liver problems and became free of those problems after taking
Barleygreen.
We called American Image Marketing (A.I.M.), the company that produces
Barleygreen and they say that it is gluten free because the product is
made from the juice of young barley shoots, one of the most complete
sources of nutrients there is. Janelle really wants to add this to her
diet and would like to know for sure, from you, if it is safe to do so.
Since it is not made from the barley grain, itself, it sounds to us
like the company is correct. Also, Barleygreen is an alkaline food and
barley GRAIN is acid.
We certainly thank you for your help and will be waiting for your
answer. How wonderful that you are willing to help so many folks who
really need your help.
In appreciation, Alice for Janelle
