Help? Can I Drink This Protein Shake?

I go to Xsport fitness and they have their own protein powder to make shakes. I called the number on the bottle... and they told me to call the gym. The gym couldn't help me either... all I know is that I looked at the ingredients my self... on the alergen info.. it said... contains dairy and eggs...

It didn't say anything about wheat or gluten... the personal trainer on the line told me that protein powder is generally derived from whey... which is from milk... so there probably is no gluten in it....

however... the only ingredients I was iffy on.. were natural and artificial flavoring.... the powder I wanted to buy was chocolate and vanilla....

what do you think? Is this NO NO?

I'm still new at this so I can't be positive, but from what I've gathered the natural and artificial flavors SHOULD be okay as long as it was made in the US because of the new regulations regarding food content. However, my little cousin is allergic to pretty much everything edible so her mom calls a lot of companies and apparently barley can be used as a "natural flavor" so if you're drinking it and it's making you feel sick I would call the company again and check about those things specifically. They can be hesitant about telling you what the natural and artificial flavors are but if you tell them you don't need to know all of them you just need to make sure that it's completely gluten free they tend to be more forthcoming.

I am also new to this "lifestyle" and from what I have read usually when you have a gluten intolerence you are most likely to have a dairy intolerence/lactose intolerence. My nautropath also recommended to cut dairy our as well. Usually once you cut our gluten and repair the Villi's (which produce the enzyme lactase which helps you break down the sugar lactose) you can re-introduce dairy. I am a figure competitor so to cut out whey protein is harder then giving up whet and gluten. There are so many other forms of protein though that you can have in your protein shakes, Hemp, Rice...just add some berries and maybe some almond milk with ice, and you wouldn't even notice the difference.

Hope this helps :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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! 🫶
