Oat Bran? Need A High Protein Shake.

Hey guys! Is oat bran gluten free? I'm trying to find a good gluten free/casein free/caffeine free high protein & low carb shake and some of them contain oat bran. I have found a certified gluten/casien free shake, but it contains caffeine...UHHH! So, the other options have oat bran. Any thoughts?

I've got an awesome high protein, low carb shake that is gluten & lactose free, but it's made from whey and my body seems to not agree with it since I went gluten-free. Any thoughts as to why???

Sorry I don't have any info on the shakes/oat bran but wanted to say I'm lactose intolerant too and whey absolutely kills me. Casseine doesn't bother me too much, I can tolerate a wee bit but I basically avoid dairy all together. I'm not sure where whey falls - is is lactose (sugar) or casseine (protein) - bit whatever it is I have to avoid it like the plague.

I hear you! I don't know the chemistry parts of whey and casein, all I know is that if I ingest it, my intestines go haywire ;) In fact, I had no idea I was dairy intolerant until I stopped eating gluten. Oddly enough, I can tolerate Stoneyfield plain organic yogurt (I mix it with organic applesauce...YUMMY). I wish I was born with an owner's manual to my body :D

A whole bunch of whey shake producers make cookies and cream flavors and use shared lines. There are a few hemp protein powders out there that claim to be gluten free are are supposed to have good amino acid profiles but I've never tried them myself so couldn't give you a person review of them. I just chow down on chicken turkey breast for extra protein.

I wouldn't trust oat bran unless it's made from certified gluten-free oats. Oats have terrible CC issues because of wheat growing in the oat fields. Also some celiacs are sensitive to oats in the first place.

Skylark--have you found any oats you can trust?

Last time I ate oats I reacted, but I'm better at the diet now so I could have just made some other mistake. I'm going to give oats one more go and if I react again I'm going to assume I'm one of the oat sensitive folks. If you want to try oats, the ones from Bob's Red Mill are grown in wheat-free fields and Bob's tests them for gluten.

Just make sure you grab the gluten free ones from Bob's....I didn't notice mine were not gluten-free until I got home. <_< They have both kinds.

I've seen gluten-free oats but not gluten-free oat bran.

Chia Seeds are easily digestible and high in protein. They can be used as is or mixed with water and allowed to gel overnight in the fridge to get all the amino acids out of them. I've added them to smoothies for my daughter. I don't have an actual recipe. I would just use my Magic Bullet. Throw in some frozen berries, maybe a half a banana if we have it, a drizzle of honey, a few spoonfuls of sorbet if we have it and some rice milk. To this I would add about a Tablespoon of the chia seeds. Blend and drink.

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      I had already decided I won't buy wheat straw dishes. I'm concerned about eating at someone else's home, or possibly restaurants. I'm very careful to avoid wheat/gluten. My cat doesn't eat cat food with wheat or wheat gluten. I've been told that wheat grass is safe, but if I can avoid it why take a chance. The cat grass sold in "catnip" grow it yourself kits...

      Gluten-Free Pre-Workout & Recovery Foods – What’s Your Go-To?

      Interesting topic. I am gluten-free for approx 2 years. Age 60+ with various related health issues related to late diagnosis of celiac disease. Diagnosed osteoporosis and muscle loss. After walking or playing golf, I ate coconut yogurt with collagen protein and whey protein. Whey protein for many amino acids. Bloating and severe abdominal pain. Same with...

      Biopsy confirmed no celiac, low gliadin igg but high gliadin iga?

      Your situation is intriguing—while the biopsy ruled out celiac disease, the elevated gliadin IgA (along with gastritis from H. pylori) suggests your immune system is reacting to gluten, albeit differently than in classic celiac. High gliadin IgA can occur in non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), other autoimmune conditions, or even as part of gut inflammation f...

      Lab results

      While your negative tTG-IgA result suggests celiac disease is unlikely, the elevated total IgA (638) is notable and warrants further investigation. High IgA can occur in various conditions, including chronic infections, autoimmune disorders (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), or even liver disease—but it’s not typically linked directly to MS. That said, yo...

My cat doesn't eat cat food with wheat or wheat gluten. I've been told that wheat grass is safe, but if I can avoid it why take a chance. The cat grass sold in "catnip" grow it yourself kits is wheat grass. Your cat will be happier with dried catnip, or catnip you grow from seeds. Strawberries: If I wash them in water will they be safe? Or should I use something more than water? I buy frozen strawberries; does freezing affect the possible gluten? Thank you for the info.

      Interesting topic. I am gluten-free for approx 2 years. Age 60+ with various related health issues related to late diagnosis of celiac disease. Diagnosed osteoporosis and muscle loss. After walking or playing golf, I ate coconut yogurt with collagen protein and whey protein. Whey protein for many amino acids. Bloating and severe abdominal pain. Same with collagen protein powder even though gluten and lactose free. I am suspect exposure through other subtle ingredients. Research on both whey and collagen powders is my focus as I need the benefits of post-workout food items.

      Your situation is intriguing—while the biopsy ruled out celiac disease, the elevated gliadin IgA (along with gastritis from H. pylori) suggests your immune system is reacting to gluten, albeit differently than in classic celiac. High gliadin IgA can occur in non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), other autoimmune conditions, or even as part of gut inflammation from H. pylori. Since active gastritis can disrupt the intestinal barrier ("leaky gut"), gluten might trigger temporary immune reactions that could calm post-recovery. The fact that you tolerated gluten accidentally doesn’t necessarily rule out sensitivity; symptoms can be delayed or cumulative. To clarify, consider retesting gliadin IgA...

When you removed gluten, your body likely began healing, which can dramatically alter nutrient absorption, inflammation levels, and even neurotransmitter production (like serotonin, which SSRIs target). This shift might explain why your SSRI seemed to "stop working"—your gut wasn’t processing the medication (or nutrients critical for mood regulation) the same way it did pre-diagnosis. Switching to an NDRI (which works on dopamine/norepinephrine instead of serotonin) may have...

High IgA can occur in various conditions, including chronic infections, autoimmune disorders (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), or even liver disease—but it’s not typically linked directly to MS. That said, your brain MRI findings (white matter lesions at 44) and MS-like symptoms are concerning and should absolutely be prioritized with your neurologist. MS and celiac are distinct conditions, though both involve immune dysregulation; some studies hint at a slightly higher risk of autoimmune comorbidities in celiac patients, but no...
