Wheat grass

[Guest guest]

Someone posted in another group (unrelated to Celiac at all)

that wheat grass is just fine to those suffering from Celiac’s or gluten

intolerance. I remember asking initially about sprouting wheat and I was

told it was a bad idea, can anyone clarify this for me? I don’t like

being confused; I keep having accidents as it is from sneaky gluten. My

body is still really sick and over reacts to everything, lactose, soy, corn *sigh* I can’t wait to get halfway

back to normal. Thanks!

Generally it is safe for celiacs to consume wheat/barley grass or

juice derived from them. The reason is that these young plants have

not yet developed the proteins/gluten that we cannot consume. But for

some this is similar to the distilled vinegar debate. Since wheat

grass is a wheat plant some individuals will automatically disqualify

it. I'm funny about food so I understand the " fear " . But the science

suggests that the fear is probably misplaced.

Sprouting wheat may be a bad idea not because it's wheat but because

sprouts of all types are suspectible to bacterial contamination. You

have to know what you are doing.
