I heard I should keep away from aspartate and I heard it is toxic in the same way gluten is. After all aspartame is 40% aspartate. I have yet to find an affordable protein powder, that doesnt have something bad in it. I need to bulk back up, I have almost lost hope. Can anyone help me? I have lost muscle and I'd really like to bulk up.

I use NOW Foods 100% Whey Isolate.
I order online for like $73/ 10lb bag
It basically has no taste, but I don't have any problems like I have with other protein powders.
--Good Luck!

I use this one, only stevia as a sweetener. The ingredients are towards the bottom of the page. I think it tastes really good!

I found some good whey powder from whole foods, but I need a bigger container. I need something that'll last atleast a month or two. I'd like get a 10lb container of whey, but all the whey I've seen that doesnt have anything bad in it, doesn't come in big containers. Whey at GNC had like 50 ingredients! I mean come one how much stuff do you need in protein powder? There is no need for dyes and spenda is PROTEIN POWDER.

I use Natural Essentials from Iron-tek. Certified gluten free and sweetened with fructose, nothing artificial and great taste. I bought a small container of 'Vanilla cake' from Whole foods for about $20, then found the 5lbs container online for a little over $30.

This is the protein I use...pea protein. It seems to do well. Sweetened *not very sweet which is great for me* with stevia.

I have lost muscle and weight too from being on the glutenfree diet. I have slowly put on a little muscle with workng out. I take purefit protein bars as far as I know the only protein bar that is glutenfree and tastes good enough. I also found some chocolate/vanilla central market brand protein powder at HEB grocery store or if u have a Central Market near you look for it. I think it is relatively new.

Ill let u know how it tastes.

I have been using Gold Standard... I wasn't sure of some indredients.. so I called the company.. they said some products had gluten in them... such as cookies and cream protein powder. I am using rockyroad .. she said that had no gluten. I double checked and made sure she knew there was a difference between wheat and gluten and she said she was sure there was no gluten in them.

I've been using Designer Whey for ages, 'cause it's the only brand I trust to contain what it's label says and have gained/maintained a lot of muscle using it during lower calorie phases. The flavored ones use sucralose as a sweetener, but their "natural" flavor doesn't use any sweeteners or have any other weird ingredients as far as I remember. I'm actually going to switch to natural from the chocolate I've been taking. Downside is, the natural flavor doesn't taste that great, but I guess that's why they call it natural. The best deal I've found on all sports suppliments is DPSNutrition.com. Oh yeah, and all designer whey products are gluten free.

We also use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard. We prefer the double rich chocolate flavour. It mixes up great even in just a shaker cup with water.

Hey there.
I use Nutribiotic Rice Protein. It comes in different flavors and only has 3 or 4 ingredients. The statement on their website says "Completely vegan. Contains no soy, milk, eggs, yeast, corn, wheat, sugars, or preservatives." The jar I got is 22 oz but it also comes in 3 lb.

I just contacted the manufacturer Body Fortress and got this reply:
Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Chocolate (product # 44320 bulk # 29648), Vanilla (product # 44315 bulk # 29641), Cookies and Cream (product # 18490 bulk # 29654) and Strawberry (product # 18495 Bulk # 29649) are gluten free.
I buy the 2lb canister at Walmart for about $15.

Matt,
Please be aware of Designer Whey. Their products are mass produced and sold cheaply for a reason. The protein synthesis process they use ruins the protein so much, all your really left with is a high amount of sodium. I too used to drink DW and then did research online on how protein powders are created. Be aware that when a company sells something for real cheap ALL the time, there is a reason. Notice how the powder stays chunky, that's the cheapest protein out there on the market.

Being a gluten-free triathlete, I have used all the powders before and after I was diagnosed Celiac. Now the best protein powder I have taken comes from my holisitic health doctor. He doesn't make it, he buys it from the manufacturer. When I have the name I will post it here.

Take care,
John
