Can anyone give me a definative answer about Barley Grass.

Q. Is Barley Grass different from Barley?

For instant, I just found out that Wheat Grass is different from Wheat.

I am interested in consuming greens and know it is good for you; however, I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease... I have to stay away from anything that contains, Wheat, Oats, Barley, Malt and Rye. I am on a wheat free Gluten Free Diet. Cannot ingest anything with the protein Gliadin (GLUTEN)

Wheat grass does not contain gluten where as the grain wheat does.

Does anyone know if this is also true for Barley Grass....

It is important, as ingesting wheat/gluten sets off an immune response in Celiacs that causes damage to the small intestine whereby no nutrition can be absorbed and mal-absorption takes place and can become a serious condtition.

Thanks for your help.
