I have been warning people of the dangers of gluten grains for 20 years. You may be asking yourself then why is she telling people to drink the juice from the grass part of a gluten grain? This is a perfect example of how different parts of a plant can be beneficial and other parts harmful. Gluten is found only in the grain portion of the plant (acid-forming) not the green leaf and sprout top (highly alkaline-forming). If properly juiced and manufactured there will be no gluten in the juice of wheat, barley, rye, kamut and spelt grasses. However, if the label doesn’t say gluten-free, don’t take a chance. I am gluten intolerant and have never had a problem with wheat grass juice. Because different people may be sensitive to different things, make sure the label says gluten-free and trust how it makes you feel.
