I just came across this today, so I thought I'd post it. I haven't contacted the company to see how sure they are of it being gluten-free, so anyone wanting to try it might want to do that.

I looked into it a little further and it says that it doesn't contain any drugs, stimulants or suppressants.

I've never used this type of thing. But I'm thinking that something like this might work as a meal replacement in a pinch?

I have been drinking the "high protein" Slim-Fast Chocolate and the "Optima" Chocolate shakes a few times a week for about 2 months now. I have had no reactions to either. The ingredients on the label seem ok.

A conversation with Slim Fast corporate person led to "those 2 shakes are probably gluten-free, but we cannot guarantee it, but please wait for a while because we will be introducting a GUARANTEED gluten-free shake soon".

Well here it is.

It's more than likely ok, since even their "not guaranteed" ones seem to have no CC problems.

I will try this new one as soon as I see it on the shelves.

Everyone on this board seems to have combinations of dietary restrictions but this version of Slim-Fast does say gluten free and lactose free on the can. I saw them at a local Wal-Mart yesterday but didn't purchase one.

Lactose free isn't dairy free. They still contain casein.

Yep, they are lactose free, but most definitely not milk or casein free. =(

I'm lactose intol - so I "should" be able to drink them. We shall see. My husband picked me up some last night. I haven't tried them yet.

Ok, so I tried the chocolate one today. And, I've been sick all day. =(

I don't know what's in it that's making me sick, but I feel like death warmed over. I'm sure it "could" be something else, but I felt great before I drank it... and about 20 minutes after, i started feeling icky.

Casein, perhaps?? Great, one more thing I may need to remove from my ever shrinking diet.

I've been drinking them about every other day for about 2 weeks. At first I didn't think I had a reaction.

Since I have DH, the reactions can take a week or more to happen. Makes it hard to figure out what it was.

I've have been having increasing DH over the past 3 days - and drank one of these almost each day this week- so I'm suspecting them. I am only Gluten intolerant, no other allergies or intolerances.

The other thing could be that we have a snack area where I work that has freebie goodies out for the taking and they ran out of Reese's PB Cups (my usual take), so I ate Snickers for several days. There was a thread here about Snickers (and all Mars) CC issues. So it could be that too - or a combo of both.

Can't think of anything else it could be. I've had some yogurt, but Dannon Fruit on the Bottom has not given me DH before and i've had them consistently for about a year.

So I'm going to be real real good and not do Snickers or any more Slim Fast gluten-free and see if the DH starts to clear. I'm hating life again because I'm going on travel for Sun - Wed to Tampa and there will be catered lunches with no opportunity to go out (meeting is in restricted facility with no cafeteria or anything)......! I always get glutened at those things and now I'm going there already glutened - TERRIBLE.

(Maybe I'll starve and eat only Hershey's plain choc, plain potato chicps and fresh fruit for the 3 days).

That sucks Franceen. It always happens at the worst time too. I agree on the CC issues. If you overthink it, all it takes is one person not washing their hands after lunch while working in a factory and that batch is contaminated. I know before being gluten-free, I never would have thought about washing my hands because I had just eaten a sandwich. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out which source it is.

I just bought some of these today to have on hand in case I need to run out of the house without breakfast.. but then hubby got home and read me the riot act because he said I'm already losing weight so fast he doesn't want this to mess me up further... hmph... well, I'll see how I do on them.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
