Newly Diagnosed, looking for protein powder recommendation

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed last Monday with Celiac disease and am in the process of trying to get adjusted.  I've been having some trouble keeping my protein intake up and I've been going to start taking whey protein.  The one I'm looking at is sold at walmart and is called "Six Star 100% Whey Protein".  The label says that it is Gluten Free but the ingredients list "L-Glutamine" and also states that it is "Processed in a facility that also process wheat...".  Should I use this protein or should I keep looking for something else?  If I should keep looking does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

L-glutamine is an amino acid. It is not gluten. As to the shared facility question, opinions vary, but I don't worry about it (the disclosure is voluntary). It just means somewhere in the factory.

Thank you so much psawyer.  I hope you folks don't mind but I'm going to have quite a few questions as these is brand new to me and a bit of an adjustment.  I've had stomach issues all my life and it's just now at the age of 38 that I get diagnosed.

Thanks again for the info.

Personally I sould look for one that doesn't have that warning.  You may also want to look into Hemp protein. Whey is a dairy product and being newly diagnosed you may not tolerate dairy well.

Hemp went to the gutter recently with CC issues. They are making way to much of it with the canibis/hemp craze on roataion with wheat. Only ONE brand certifies gluten free, and 2 out of 5 containers I got from them were clean and tested gluten free........so I would avoid hemp for now unless you but Just Hemp Foods AND TEST your cansister.

Avoid whey for now -_- the stuff is going to be hard on and many have issues with various dairy proteins due to damaged intestines.
Look for plant based ones Blends Nutra Key -V-pro and MRM Veggie Elite are good, I also like pure proteins like Julian Bakery Pegan Cinnamon Twist (pumpkin seed), Julian Bakery Pegan (Sancha Inchi, taste a bit like roasted peanuts), Jarrow Pumpkin seed protein (very high in zinc, dark, gritty but AWSOME for recovery and before bed), And I use Naked Pea unflavored to make protein crackers and in cooking. Julian bakery also makes grain free breads low in carbs and high in proteins and fats that are great for body builders. And they have egg white and beef protein isolates if you feel the need to go hardcore bulking. These are what I have been using. Since your new you might want to read over the newbie 101 section. and I got a list of foods, but you should look at whole unprocessed meals for now with simple ingredients, if you want good building ones go for baked chicken/fish over greens, omelettes, soups with roast cuts in it. and veggies etc. I do ketogenic diet and body building myself, but have to avoid meats do to pancreatic enzyme issues and digesting meats.

If you do not have time/money to get all new pots/pans ect. Omelette makers, steamers, grill plates for the microwave are available from nordicware, and you can foil line baking dishes, and crockpot liners for your crockpot to prevent contamination.

You don't need to replace all your pots and pans. You would want to replace any that are scratched like enamel or teflon but pans that can be washed clean can be kept as can plates and silverware. You do want a new cutting board and a new strainer for stuff like pasta.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
