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...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      I feel the same way. Looks like the research is being done in Switzerland. Thank you Scott for keeping us updated on the research!

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
