Kellogg's Special K Protein Shake & Protein Water

Between the title and the topic, I've just about asked my question.

Because of severe gastroparesis most of my nutrition now has to come in the liquid form. I drink Ensure, & fruit juices, and make smoothies with yogurt and fresh fruit for nutrition, but protein is my concern. I saw Kellogg's Special K Protein Shakes and Protein Water today.

Does anyone KNOW whether they are gluten free? The ingredients LOOK ok, but that's never been enough for me. Those of you who have been around for awhile know that I was a VERY sick Celiac prior to diagnosis. I still had villous atrophy on biopsy 2 1/2 years after diagnosis and becoming strictly gluten free, even though at the 2 1/2 years the antibodies were negative. All of that is to say, I can't & won't take chances.

Anybody KNOW?

Sorry I can't be of much help other than to say try calling the company. That is probably the only way to know, especially since it is a relatively new product.

Thanks, GFresh, I'll do that!

Meanwhile, does anyone know of any glutenfree protein enriched drinks?

There's a bunch on amazon. Just type in gluten free and then on the left side click "Grocery" and then hit "Beverages."

I am not a Celiac, but my best friend is so I do a lot of research about it, I contacted Kellogg's about their Special K Protein Shakes and they provided me with a very nice reply, thought you all could benefit from it also.

Ms. Goneau,

Thank you for contacting us to request information about our products that do not contain gluten.

Kellogg is aware that many consumers need special dietary foods, especially those with celiac disease. While we do not currently offer any cereal or waffle products that are formulated to be gluten free, this is an area that we are exploring.

We do offer several products free from gluten-containing ingredients. These include Kellogg's

I presume you've already got an array of protein powders to add to your smoothies (and maybe sometimes juice)...

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      So, as I understand this, there is uncertainty as to how much the gluten protein has to be degraded before it is safe and doesn't cause a reaction. There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem with other "gluten free" products made from wheat starch such as certain pizza brands.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Rather than create a new thread, I thought I would post to this one as it is on topic. The paper linked below is quite comprehensive regarding the state of knowledge of the safety of hydrolysed barley gluten. The final section gives a good summary. Barley based gluten free beer – A blessing or an uncontrollable risk?

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By MegRCxx · Posted

      I started eating gluten free about a month before my test results came through and i was starting to feel a little better but still the off flare ups. I recieved the diagnosis at the beginning of September and they have supplied me with a nutritionist mid october. I am only eating gluten free foods and am so careful but i just seem to still always feel like crap.    i feel fine after breakfast but as soon as ive had lunch i feel crap for the rest of the day. Stomach hurts to apply any pressure, fatigue, mood swings and its getting to me at the moment.   i used to be a head pastry chef and thought id always had that to fall back on but the not being able to eat everything i love and worrying about cross contamination has taken a massive toll. There is only so much you can do with coeliac and i just dont know how to feel better. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By larc · Posted

      Yes cooking everything from scratch has helped vanquish my symptoms. As for tips on managing a busy schedule and preparing fresh food -- I try to steam a lot of fresh vegetables most evenings so I have food in the fridge for a day or two. But I still have to do a lot of shopping since I buy so much fresh fruits and vegetables. Still, no matter how much you plan or set up a routine, food preparation to cope with my celiac still requires a serious time commitment.

      Has anyone ever had Low Ferritin with Elevated MCHC levels?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @cristiana, I'm glad your A1Cs have come back as normal!   Penicillin based antibiotics like flucloxacillin can deplete thiamine, but low thiamine won't cause high mchc.  But SIBO bacteria will take advantage of low thiamine and all those oats to become overgrown.  SIBO bacteria can interfere with iron and B12 absorption and may cause high mchc.   Certainly a head scratcher!  Hope the test results come soon so you can get this figured out! Keep us posted!
