Optimum Nutrition Weight Gainer Glutten Free? Gold Standard Gainer

Hi all,

Tried looking around for the product stated in the title, if it's glutten free. I tried reaching out to the company but no responses. I'm used to drinking serious mass as a weight gainer, but now that I maybe diagnosed with celiac, I'm trying to find the best alternative to a weight gainer.. I attached a picture of the label. It seems to be glutten free, but it says may contain wheat, which I believe is probably because they use the same machines to make products that do contain glutten.

Thanks.

I see 2 issues. One, oat flour, and the second being milk. Many of us cannot have non certified gluten-free oats (and some can't even have that.) and oftentimes, people newly diagnosed can't have milk protein. Not all but many for the first 6 months or so.

so you might be diagnosed or are diagnosed? Lol. If you have any tests to decipher let us know.

Welcome. The oat flour is a no go since it doesn't specify that it is certified gluten free. Newly diagnosed celiacs should avoid even certified oats until well healed as some of us will react to them. You may also want to avoid dairy for a bit if your GI distress is agravated by it. You may well be able to add it back in after you have healed. If you are not done with testing do be sure to keep eating gluten until finished.

Have to ask if you have a Supra.  Out of all my cars my '82 will always be my favorite. Boy could that thing move.

I body build myself, look into Nutra Key the V-pro vegan one is a good blend, MRM has various ones I use the Veggie elite from that. I also use various other proteins and bars from Julian Bakery (love julian keto options for gluten-free breads) and Jarrow. I use the ketogenic diet approach and eat a ton of fats, very low to no carbs, and over 250g of protein a day. I also avoid dairy, soy, and several other things I have intolerance to. I focus on proteins high in zinc for recovery like Oregon Seed Company Pumpkin Protein, and MRM or Julian Sacha Inchi Proteins.   Jarrow Hemp and plant formulas are also nice on rotation to mix it up.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
