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...

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
