@Weezy According to the FRS site, nothing in FRS contains gluten. As for the inulin. I've never heard of inulin containing a wheat derivative, but even if it did, I doubt that would still have any of the gluten in it.

Levi —

Can someone with Celiac Sprue/Disease drink FRS?

People with CS/CD cannot consume wheat, rye, or barley due to the gluten in these grains.

I see that FRS has inulin in it, which some sources say contains a wheat derivative.

THANKS!

@Mark

The question had to do with FRS as it relates to caffeine and high blood pressure. It wasn’t a debate about the health benefits or lack thereof of FRS.

Also, this is a site for endurance athletes like marathon runners, which means that people here might just be using FRS during marathon training!

There’s NOTHING healthy about FRS. Do you really believe that ‘organic cane juice’ is -healthy-? It’s not. Nor is any sweet juice. Run a marathon right after you drink it, and you MIGHT undo most of the negative effects, but is that really what you’re gonna do? This is gonna do the same thing to your liver that alcohol does, without the high. No thanks.

Hi Suman,

With any heart condition it could be problematic to have stimulants like caffeine, but as I mentioned, FRS is pretty low in caffeine and looks like it has healthy ingredients otherwise.

I would think anyone who can drink green tea can handle FRS, because the caffeine content in each one is pretty close. But again, that’s just my opinion, and definitely not medical advice!

Hi Levi,
I have used FRS and found it to be very useful in terms of increasing my energy levels and mental focus. However, my father (who is in his seventies)has had an Angina problem for a while and after a gastroenteritis infection is rather weak. Is it OK to give him FRS to increase his energy levels?
Thanks

Hi Levi,

I like your website. It has some interesting articles. I read the one about the exercise ball. I think I am going to get one this weekend.

I also read the article on healthy pizza toppings. I like all of them except the onions. I like a little bit of onion, but I have never acquired a taste for onions.

Thank you for letting me share…
