Mlo Protein Powder

I have an email in to the company, but I was hoping someone else might have an answer for me in the meantime. I purchased the MLO Vegetable Protein Powder the other day to increase my protein intake a little bit. I looked at the ingredient statement before purchase:

Soy protein isolate, soy fiber, corn bran, potato starch, broccoli powder, tomato powder, carrot powder, beet powder, papin. CONTAINS SOY. Manufactured in a facility that processes milk and egg products.

(Note no mention of wheat what so ever).

Great, I bought it, mixed some in with my cereal this morning. After I'd finished my cereal and went to put the powder back into the closet, I catch sight of this statement on the side of the canister:

MLO Vegetable Protein combines soy, sesame, and wheat with the finest vegetable protein sources as well as a modified amino acid to ensure optimal utilization.

Huh? I'm reading that as the powder has soy, sesame, and wheat mixed with veggie sources! Neither sesame nor wheat are mentioned. Their website offers no clarification, just the same statement.

I'm not one to react immediately when I have gluten, so I wouldn't necessarily know myself if it has gluten. Can anyone help me out here.... what am I missing?

I still haven't gotten an email response from the company, but I called them this morning. I'm used to going through the "push 1 for English..... Push 4 for retail locations..." and spending minute after minute fighting my way through the menus to actually speak to a real live person. Well much to my surprise, 2 rings and I am greeted by a live person!

I spoke to Yvonne, who said that someone else had asked the same question a few weeks ago. What happened was they recently reformatted the ingredients in their MLO Vegetable Protein Powder, so there are now no grain ingredients in the product. Meaning no gluten. But they did not update the "romance" statement on the package.

I'm not overly thrilled with the flavor of the powder, I might have to try mixing it in yogurt rather than cereal, but I need more protein in the AM to get me through the day, and for now, the protein powder is convenient!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
