Awesome Wf gluten-free Protein Shakes/foods For Fellow Exercise Enthusiasts

Hi all... kinda new here... I've gotten so much good info here on these boards so I thought I'd try to make a contribution or two... anyway... getting enough protein to support my muscles is not just vital to my own workouts and health but to my personal fitness training biz... when I first went wf, gluten-free, df I panicked because all my favorite protein and nutritional shakes were found to containin some sort of wheat, gluten or dairy derivative... anyway... I was so happy when I found the absolutely, most righteous shake I have ever tasted... I mean... throw some ice in with it in a blender... and it is the creamiest, yummiest "milk" shake ever!!! In fact... I even like this stuff waaaaay better than my former products... it tastes like you're eating something sinful... that it's hard to believe it's good for you... anyway... you can find the shakes here... either in whey or in egg whites: Open Original Shared Link or at amazon .com... he also has some bars and other products... the ingredients are simple and natural... and it appears that most of his products (except for the peanut bar) are wheat and gluten free... and for those of you sensitive to dairy and egg... he also has a nutritional shake and energy nuggets made from sweet potatoes...

Thanks Karen... I thought this was going to be really difficult and that I would feel so alone... but finding this board was a godsend... so any tips I can add is the least I can do...

Keep the tips coming! This is a great place to share information. The gluten-free diet is a hard at first, but this board really helps. I almost always find an answer to my questions by searching old posts. You find out pretty quickly that you're not alone.

Take care!

I use the Jay Robb egg white protein shakes, but not the strawberry one. It has stevia in it and I had a BAD reaction to that. I like the chocolate and the plain. But I don't use a blender. I did the first few times, but I found that it whipped up too much air into a froth and that was causing too much trapped air in my stomach. It was very uncomfortable. Instead I put however much liquid I want into a container that holds about twice the amount that I plan to drink, then put in the scoop of powder and about 4 ice cubes and shake until it is well mixed. I have found the egg protein mixes very smooth and very few clumps (if any at all). I like it mixed with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze (Chocolate or Vanilla) and it makes for a smoother creamy "milk" shake.

Welcome, Robina!

Just the sort of tip I've been waiting for. I'm gluten-free, DF and soy free too. The egg white option looks great, do you have a favorite flavor? I'm working towards my black belt test and it seems I can never get enough protein in for the tough workouts! Thanks for the tip about Amazon, I love ordering from them.

Welcome to the boards, they are truly worth their weight in gold for the info and support you can get here!

I love all their flavors... but being a chocolate fanatic... I've gotta go with the chocolate as being the best :-)

I signed up for the annual membership at Jayrobb.com when I placed my order... I was going to order from Amazon as I do for just about everything else... but then I thought about how often I drink protein shakes (twice per day - one upon rising and one post workout) so I figured I'd be better off in the long run paying the $24 for the membership and then buying my products direct from the company for the 10% per order discount...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
