I started a weight training program recently, and I'm trying to find a post-workout protein source (bars, powders, shakes) that doesn't have gluten, dairy, or soy in it. Other than keeping beef jerky in the car, what are my options? My preference is a bar, but I'll take any suggestions.

There are some nut based bars but overall you are unlikely to find too much on this front.

Hard boiled eggs, but you should keep them cold. A jar of peanut butter/sunflower seed butter and a spoon. The tiny cans/packets of tuna?

All of the powdered things I've tried have been awful beyond belief, and I don't even know which are gluten-free.

I ended up choosing one of the Nutiva Hemp products. The guy at whole foods said he thought it tasted the best. Most of the hemp and rice proteins just don't have as much protein per serving. I think the one I got has 11 grams. That's about half or one third of what some of the other powders have per serving.

So how much protein do I really need IMMEDIATELY after a work out? I can get enough protein during the day in general. I just can't get home and cook up some meat right after lifting.

If you are looking to put on lean mass, you actually need protein before AND after your work out. One of the easiest, cheapest and most convenience is the 100% all natural turkey breast from Costco. It comes in a 3 pack that tear apart for about $6.00. Each package is resealable. You can roll them up or eat the whole thing out of the package with a knife and fork! If you don't have a Costco, look to other retailers for preservative free lunch meats.

Also, almonds and walnuts are excellent sources of fiber, protein, and GOOD fat. Try to incorporate non-salted ones before and after a work out as well. Believe it or not, you NEED fat to build muscle.

Be VERY careful when purchasing beef jerky. Always read the ingredient statement as many of them contain soy sauce. And for hypersensitive folks like me, it's just enough to ruin a day.

Unfortunately, I found this out the hard way!

NOW Foods makes a pea protein powder. You can also make your own sunflower seed bars, etc. Ordinary garden peas are loaded with protein. How about a thermos of pea soup? Takes just minutes to make, using a blender. Lentils are a very good source of protein too, and the red ones make a good thick rich soup.

Oh yeah, I've been on this diet a while now. I know where the gluten is hiding. :)

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      We tend to crave foods that our bodies know contain the nutrients it needs.  Her "meat kick" sounds like she's listening to her body's nutritional needs! Yes, do talk to her doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with a B Complex.   Well done!

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Confused about my results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @AllyJR, Similar to my family having a variety of health problems related to undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Not only does one inherit the autoimmune disease genes, we also learn poor eating habits from our families.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which reduces inflammation and promotes healing.  This diet cuts out foods that can be inflammatory while intestines heal.  I highly recommend it.   Nutritional deficiencies can affect gene expression.  There's some research that shows thiamine deficiency can affect gene expression, causing autoimmune genes to switch on.  Taking a B Complex and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can be beneficial in that respect.  Vitamin D can help regulate the immune system and is important in growth of bones in children.  Focus on nutrition to promote growth and development in children.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Feeling of phlegm and thickness in throat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease report throat-related symptoms, including a phlegmy, thick, or "sticky" feeling after gluten exposure. This could be due to inflammation, mild allergic response (like a wheat allergy), or even silent reflux triggered by gluten. Some also describe a "gluten globus" sensation—like something is stuck in the throat—without visible mucus. Since this isn’t a classic celiac symptom, it’s worth considering: Wheat allergy (IgE-mediated reactions can cause throat tightness/swelling). GERD/LPR (acid reflux)—gluten can relax the esophageal sphincter, letting acid creep up. Histamine response (some react to gluten with excess mucus production). If it happens consistently after gluten, keep a symptom log and discuss it with your doctor. An allergist or GI specialist could help rule out other causes. Hope you find answers soon.
