Awareness of Gluten intolerance has business booming
From a recent article on? Gluten Free food on MSNBC.com
U.S. sales of gluten-free food, roughly $700 million in 2006, are rising 15 percent to 25 percent a year, according to research firms Mintel International and Information Resources Inc. Manufacturers expect sales to remain strong because celiac sufferers don’t outgrow the disease.”
Do You Have Gluten Intolerance (Celiac disease)?
Your family Doctor would be the first place to go to assess if you have a Gluten intolerance. ? When commencing your investigation keep in mind the point made in this recent article on Gluten intolerance (Celiac disease) by Paul G. Donohue M.D. ? Doctor Donohue states that many individuals may not have the outward signs of Gluten intolerance which are diarrhea and weight loss. People can have celiac disease without these symptoms.
“Their illness is discovered when they come down with vitamin or mineral deficiencies from celiac’s interference with nutrient absorption. Osteoporosis might develop at a young age because calcium cannot be absorbed by the digestive tract, or anemia occurs because iron isn’t assimilated.”

If you, any of your friends or members of your family, are among the millions of people who are searching for a complete nutritional supplement that is certified “Gluten free” you need look no further.
ALL ONE multiple powder formulations are perfect for those with Gluten intolerance.
Is your vitamin powder also lactose free?
Yes. All our multiple powder formulas are lactose free with the possible exception of the Active Seniors ALL ONE which contains whey protein. Whey protein can contain a trace of lactose. Even though the Original ALL ONE formula has a milk protein it is a lactose and fat free protein (casinate) we purchase from New Zealand. All the other multiple powder formulas, Rice Base, Green Phyto Base & Fruit Antioxidant ALL ONE are completely dairy free and certified Vegan.
I am concerned because the Green Phyto Base contains barley, kamut, and oats– when you test for the presence of gluten, how does it score for PPM?
I should probably ask – how do the other multiple powder formulas score in comparison?
Sarah, Gluten is the protein found in wheat and other grains. The protein does not form until later in the growing process. Because the Barley, Kamut etc. are gathered in their just sprouted phase they are Gluten free. Independent tests done on our Green Phyto Base ALL ONE formula show less than ten parts per million (<10 PPM) which is considered “gluten free.” All of our formulas are gluten free with the exception of our weight loss formulas which contain only a trace amount of gluten from the activated barley. – d
