Just found out my protein drink contains a small amount of wheat - lean body for her. Does anyone take a good protein drink after working out that isn't filled with a bunch of other junk that is good? Thanks!

I love Jay Robb's. It's a bit pricy. But it tastes fantastic and it's gluten-free. Also, it's a better processed protien, cleaner without all that "junk" that others have.

Another option is www.mercola.com, he has a awesome whey powder as well. It's high on the whey chart for me. I can use Jay Robb's whey powder mix, but if you have issues with milk products, lactose or casien mercola's seems to give me a bit of tummy trouble from the whey. :)

I love all the vanilla powders by Biochem. I get them really cheap from vitacost.com.

They have a vegan one now that I use :)

i've always liked the isagenix protein shake, my mom got me hooked on them a few years ago. I cant stand the taste of any other shakes! They are gluten free, expensive though!

I am a huge proponent of ALL NATURAL protein powders and have tried several dozen at the food trade shows that I attend each year. I've literally tried 40-50 different varieties.

And the winnah' is..... Nutrabio.com

Why?

# No additives, fillers, or artificial ingredients.

# Triple cold filtration process including micro and ultra filtration.

# Mixes easily with a spoon - no gritty taste, clumping or residue.

# Less then 2 grams of carbs and fat per scoop.

# 100% Denatured Whey protein concentrate

# Manufactured in the USA in a USDA licensed dairy plant.

# Mixes with water, juice, milk and is great for cooking pancakes, oatmeal, muffins etc.

# New and Improved- Now mixes better than ever.

# Lab tested for purity.

Do yourself a favor and buy a box of Zip-Lock baggies. Have a baggie at work, in your gym bag, and even in your suitcase when traveling.

A protein shake is essential in building muscle and is a much better "pick me up" than a cup of coffee or a candy bar.

Thanks for the suggestion. I quite possibly may have found a new protein source. And, I'm a magnet to anything organic.

A good lot of Celiac folks are also allergic, or at least intolerant to, Dairy and/or Lactose - This describes me. I have a slew of other food allergies/intolerances, some being rice and soy, so using the usual alternative choices are not an option for me.

I finally found a protein powder that is safe for me to use, so I'd like to share :)

It is Olympian Labs "Pea Protein". It is part of their Naturopathic Division. The flavor to some might not be what they are use to, but I quickly got use to it without a problem. Here are all of the ingredients:

I have started using this one as well, as I recently discovered a allergy to soy. It's a good protien, it doesn't upset my stomach or taste like Peas..for those of you wondering. It mixes well with other additions and takes on the flavor (PB, fruit, etc). It's a good choice for us troubled tummy people. B)

I drink the isopure shakes, get the liquid kind not the powdered and I recommend going with either alpine punch (tastes like fruit punch) or apple melon. One bottle has anywhere from 200-260 calories and 40 grams of whey protein. It is gluten-free and smooth and tastes pretty good. Also (unless you have an allergy) try soy protein shakes they tend to pack the most protein per drop. Isopure is great, filling and since 2 out of my 3 meals consist of protein shakes I really recommend it. Its even kept me from passing out.

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
