Protein Powder

I used to work out a lot and would have a protein shake afterwards...that was a while ago, and I now know I can't have gluten, casein nor soy protein. I'm looking for a shake that I can have. I was wondering if the soy lecithin is going to have remnant soy protein. Also, whey protein is the gold standard for bodybuilding. Is it inevitable have some left over casein? Thanks.

I don't suppose I'd be consuming either soy lecithin or whey if I had such sensitivities as yourself.

I do know that protein shakes are easy to make though, so that's what I'd suggest. There are a number of decent protein sources you could use in a shake, such as peas, flax, chia, and I think I read hemp too, but not sure ATM.

Incidentally, you can get a LOT of protein from green peas, and they're relatively cheap compared to other things. A bowl of pea soup would actually supply quite a number of nutrients besides the protein, and a good amount of fiber too.

BTW, if you Google sunflower lecithin, you'll find some places to get it, if you ever find you need it for something.

Many people do fine with soy lechithin, even if they have soy problems. It seems to vary from person to person.

See this about whey: Open Original Shared Link

You may want to talk to a nutritionist, as well.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
