Gluten And Dairy Free Protein Shake/weight Loss Shake

I was at my local health food store looking at protein shakes, and they all have some sort of dairy/whey in them.

Do you know of any that are gluten free and DAIRY free?

We were talking about whey protein on a different thread recently and someone brought up goatein. Don't know if that would work for you or not though.

I haven't tried the Goatein yet, but may pick some up this weekend. My problem with dairy is the casein, and there are some who believe the casein in goat milk is different enough so that it might not be a problem for me. I'm going to find out I guess.

Here is the link for you to look at Open Original Shared Link

There is also a few different brands of rice protein powder. I've used a few of those, but the carb count was usually higher than I'd like personally. If you're not concerned about that part, then some health food stores have pure rice protein powders.

Oh, and I can't remember if I've ever seen any "premixed" protein drinks that fit that description...there are probably some soy kinds.

Slim Fast has a new drink out that is gluten free and lactose free...they're pretty good!

This is gluten free and casein free, to the best of my knowledge. I'm assuming you don't have issues with eggs. I use this shake for weight GAIN, not loss, but it also works for a protein shake. I am Gluten-free Casein-free and I have had some success with a combination of Rose Acre Farm dried egg whites (cage free!) mixed with Almond Breeze Chocolate (Sweetened with evaporated cane juice) Almond Milk.

1 tablespoon of the egg white powder is 50 calories and 11 grams of protein.

4oz of almond milk is 60 calories and 1 gram of protein.

If you call that a "serving" you get 110 calories per serving and 12g of protein per 4oz of shake. Not much in itself but it scales up quite nicely.

I typically will scale this up 3-5 times after a workout to get between 330-550 calories and 36-60 grams of protein. Not bad for 12-20oz of beverage which tastes really good and is easy to drink. Mixes fine in a shaker cup as well.

I've found this to be the best (and most natural) solution for me. If you can't deal with almond milk (I like it better than soy/rice) you could choose soy/rice milk instead.

You can buy the egg whites online at Rose Acre Farms website. You can buy the Almond Breeze at Trader Joe's or online at Almond Breeze's website. I have no affiliation with either.

Hope that helps!

Ah yes, I do have egg whites that I add to my smoothies...these are powdered and I found mine at Whole Foods.

I have been drinking this:

Open Original Shared Link

I called and it is completely dairy free and they said they add no gluten to the protein at all. They also said they clean the equipment before different batches, however, they cannot certify the product is gluten-free (not sure too many companies can do that anyway). It comes in chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla and is sweetened with stevia.

Sometimes I use Jay Robb's egg white protein powder and mix it with rice milk. It's pretty good :)

I use a variety of protein powders for drinks or meal replacements; I aim to keep all my powders natural and low carb with no sweeteners or artificial sweeteners (they do contain stevia, except for the hemp and rice). The following are gluten-free and CF/lactose free/soy corn nut free/ no sweeteners or fake sweeteners- not even stevia: Manitoba Harvest Organic Hemp Protein (can buy anywhere online or Whole Foods, though amazon .com has the best deal right now with the brand Nutiva), and Vegan Rice Protein (doesn't mix well but is easily available at Whole Foods).

I also have found that the Jay Robb Vanilla Egg white protein is great (arguably the best) (contains stevia). The protein is from free range natural no hormone chickens, etc. but is expensive; it only contains egg, soy lecithin, stevia, etc. It is "made in a facility" but I have never reacted to it as contaminated (see note below for exception) and I am extremely sensitive to gluten. He guarantees no dairy, sweeteners, etc on the canister and the company is excellent- a few months after I bought my first canister from the Jay Robb website, I received an email that my batch had been contaminated with whey in the factory. When I followed up and contacted the company, they were very nice, they apologized for the cross-contamination and even sent me a completely free (free shipping also) canister of the new improved formula! I am pleased with their company and highly recommend Jay Robb if you can afford it.

Since I have been addressing my gluten issue, I find I can tolerate particular whey proteins also. Biochem makes a great line of whey-based proteins, most notably Greens and Whey, which are gluten-free and lactose free- they are the highest quality whey protein I have found and the Greens N' Whey gives the green superfood added benefit the other powders do not (it does contain Stevia in the Vanilla flavor). I don't know if you can tolerate whey in any form, but if you become daring and try it out be sure to only get whey isolate processed at low temperatures from cows not treated with hormones, etc. Any whey "combination" or non-pure isolate contains lactose. I do not know about casein in the powder, you'd have to call.

I am not doing these powders justice so please feel free to check out their websites- at the very least the hemp and rice proteins are guaranteed gluten-free CF, etc. Good luck!

GNC has some pretty good Soy protein powder. THe chocolate and strawberry are gluten and dairy free but the vanilla is not. I always add some friut to the shake and it makes it a bit better. Not as good as the whey protein shakes but I do feel better drinking them instead of the dairy ones.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
