Muscle Milk

Hi folks! I just got an email from Cytosport following an enquiry I made, and thought I'd share the answer with you. I love Muscle Milk because it's lactose free, but I wanted to make sure it was gluten-free also. Here was the reply:

I have used Muscle Milk for a couple of years. I primarily use Vanilla Creme powder. I have also used the Muscle Milk RTD's - especially when traveling.

Muscle Milk has worked well for me, though it is a heavy drink. It has a blend of whey (including the harder to digest and less bio-available whey concentrate) and casein proteins.

I am not currently using Muscle Milk. I have returned to Nature's Best IsoPure. The IsoPure is easier on my stomach, though it is more expensive. The IsoPure is all whey isolate, though not micro/cross filtered - it is ion exchange whey isolate. I recently used an IsoPure RTD when traveling. Again, it is more expensive than the Muscle Milk RTD, but IMO tasted a lot better and was easier on my stomach.

I called Nature's Best and they stated that all of the IsoPure products were gluten free.

The IsoPure Mass was what I used to really jump start my weight gain a few years ago.

I know this is an old thread, but I had a reaction to the Muscle Milk chocolate flavor this morning. I've had it in smoothies before and never noticed a reaction (not to say I didn't have one) but this morning I had a whole scoop mixed in 8oz of water. It's the ONLY thing I had in the morning, and within two hours I had my typical symptoms.  Gassy, stomach pain, bloating, etc.

 

The bad did state "gluten free" but as others mentioned ... it's manufactured in a facility that processes wheat.

 

Looks like I'm going to have to find a certified gluten-free protein powder.

Just experienced the same thing - I'm newly diagnosed celiac disease via EGD in July & have been working on eliminating gluten from my diet.  Last weekend I had a green smoothie for breakfast with Chocolate Muscle Milk.  Within about 30 minutes, I was nauseous & bloated & then vomited.  Pretty sure the muscle milk was the culprit....am wondering if perhaps the factory has some cross-contamination between the Malted Chocolate & regular Chocolate?  In any case, I will be trying the IsoPure mentioned above!

 

Thanks for the recommendation!!!

I see this is an old blog, but wanted to respond. I have used Pure Protein for over a year and a half with no reactions on a weight loss program through my doctor. I switched to Muscle Milk and am having reactions to it. I wasn't sure it was it at first, but have tested it out the last couple of days and I'm pretty sure it's what is causing my issues.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
