How To Consume Barley Grass Juice For Fibromyalgia?
Barley grass comes in powdered form which can easily be made into a juice by simply adding water. However, be very selective when choosing the product you buy. This is especially so if you have celiac disease or are adhering to a gluten-free diet (many fibromyalgia patients are also sensitive to gluten). Go for products which are made with 100% grass. Some makers do mix in grains which contain gluten.
Despite the many health benefits, it is best to consult with your doctor if you wish to supplement your diet regularly with barley grass juice.

This is gluten. How can we remain gluten free AND drink this stuff? Answer? We can’t. I have celiac. I can’t have any form of barley. Please, bare this in mind when recommending things like this, especially since you are always recommending fibromyalgia patients stay clear of gluten.
Hi Amanda,
We know it can be confusing. Yes, barley grain contains gluten but barley grass/leaf is gluten-free. Barley grass juice which is made purely out of barley grass is safe for celiac and fibromyalgia. It is the same for wheat grain and wheat grass. The grain contains gluten but the grass is gluten-free. However, certain products may not be made with 100% grass, some do mix in grains. We would definitely caution fibromyalgia patients to buy selective products that are only made with 100% grass.

Where can you purchase barley grass juice from please?
Constance,
You can definitely find barley grass powder on Amazon or in Walmart and other supermarkets. Simply add water to the powder and you can drink it as juice. If you have gluten sensitivity, make sure that you buy a product that states gluten-free.
