My day job had me working longer hours than normal, I wasn't eating as well as I normally do and the heat was taking it's toll on my body. They sent me home early one night, knowing that I wasn't feeling well, and I went to the store and got electrolyte powder and a probiotic to help me bounce back, I needed to take better care of myself. I walked like a slug around the store, my head was pounding and I couldn't think straight on what I wanted, I ended up walking down all the isles twice. The next day I felt worse, my joints hurt, I couldn't look at bright lights, and my stomach wasn't happy, but pushed through it and worked anyway. The next morning I could hardly get out of bed and had slept 9+ hours. Something wasn't right. I grabbed my probiotic and while pouring myself a glass I read parts of the label. Funny, it didn't say gluten free like it used too. I stopped pouring and turned the carton around, it stated that it was dairy-free, soy-free, and vegan. My head was foggy and I squinted at the tiny print below (and I mean tiny, it's the smallest print on the entire carton, I don't need glasses but found it hard to read), "This product contains low levels of gluten from organic oat flour and barley malt".
When I thought I was taking care of myself I was actually poisoning myself.
I was so angry. Yes, it ultimately was my fault, I should of read the label and it's teeny tiny print, but I felt betrayed. I had bought this probiotic before and it had been gluten free. In my foggy state at the store I grabbed things I recognized as being safe, I just wanted to feel better.
In the tiny print, just below where if informs you of the gluten is also states 'Try our new gluten-free quarts with green caps!"
Sorry, I don't think I can ever trust your product again. Even if it has a green cap this time.
