Celiac Meal Replacement

Well I finally found a protein/shake that helps me gain weight, oddly enough it is formulated for celiac. I got it on a whim being really iffy since it contains soy letchin, but I had not adverse reactions to it. I have found mixing it in a shaker with a cup of coconut yogurt and almond milk and drinking it between meals has stopped the odd constant hunger and actually led to me to gain weight for the first time in years. It has a very nice balance and the company promises they test all products to below 10ppm. Seems the company has a bunch of other products dedicated to the celiac community. My only complaint is that they are way over priced, but alas they seem to work well from what I have tested.

I normally use MRM Meal replacement, MRM Veggie Elite, Nutra Key V-Pro, Jarrow rice, optimal, and hemp proteins. But this one between meals and even adding a spoon to meals seems to work wonderfully. Anyone else want to take a look and give it a try, wondering if this is just me of if this might be that perfect balanced one I have been needing. Seems to have nice blend of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, light carbs, and protein.

Thanks for this, I just posted in search for gluten-free meal replacement while I'm travelling. Are these sorts of shakes nutritious enough to replace whole meals?

These are more of emergency meal replacements, to get you buy if you have to miss a meal. They might work for one meal of the day but not all 3-4 meals, calorie wise they are not enough. I might suggest eating nuts and seeds in addition to them and blending them with almond milk etc. Perhaps use a double scoop. I use the MRM and and a bag of mixed almonds and seed along with some raw veggies when I head out on a road trip. The pioneer I have yet to give a try as a full on meal replacement. I been just adding a few tsp of it to my daily smoothies or icecream to help put on weight as it as a whole lot of other nutrients that would normally require a large and varied meal.

Garden of life makes a RAW meal that is gluten-free, but I find it to be loaded with stuff I can not eat. They literally use a bunch of extracts of and round ground dried foods to make a balanced meal replacement.  Stuff is really odd to eat as how thick it gets and gel like....I made the mistake of trying it once with hot coffee.......imagine space age prison food from a nozzle.......yeah about like that tasted good just very odd texture.

Thanks, I don't mind space age prison food as long as its gluten free and has enough nutrients :lol::lol: I don't think there is a suitable full meal replacement option as of yet for celiacs. I'll be looking into MRM & Pioneer though, thanks. Guess I will be doing as you said and sticking to lots of fresh veg, nuts & seeds etc. Its going to be hard to find time to cook while I am away for work but I'll make do.

I recommend that you stay away from Raw Meal - it left me in fetal position for days.  If you are an underweight celiac there is a likelihood that your gut isn't healed.  Either you need more time being gluten-free,  you're not as gluten-free as you need to be or you have things beyond gluten that you keep being exposed to.  For me bone broth was magic.  Fruits,  veggies and meat are hard to go wrong with.

I have not touched the RAW meal in years, I only mentioned here cause I had tried it previously. I would not drink it now days.  I still would recommend Pioneer Celiac Meal Replacement, MRM Veggie meal replacement and I found this one from drinksmoothielife that works alright. I use the drink smoothie life and the Pioneer one sometimes as a additive to my evening smoothies/porridge. >.< my digestive tract is pickey in the evenings and only likes blended dinners, more to do with my acids and enzymes around the end of the day then anything else.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      By StaciField · Posted

      I am so scared of going to my doctor because she didn’t give me any information on my condition just saying remove gluten. I have a number of things that relate to coeliac disease but the doctor never picked up on it years ago when I was questioning my health.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 8 months ago. I have been on a gluten free diet since then but I am still struggling with symptoms.  My bones hurt all over my body, my hips and elbows especially. My arms are tingling a lot and feeling numb.

      Welcome to the forum, @StaciField! That is a question for a dental professional. But let's get some background info from you in relation to things we are more qualified to give input about. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? If so, are you consistent in gluten free eating?  If you haven't been checked for celiac disease, you certainly should be as mineral depletion of the bones is a common symptom of the condition. Celiac disease results in vitamin and mineral malabsorption.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      By StaciField · Posted

      I had an ex ray yesterday and I was told that my bones in my jaw were broken and falling away. I have 2 front bottom teeth that are wiggling and I have to take them out. I am so scared of this as I have more broken teeth that I’m wanting removed. If I have them removed would I be able to get false teeth if I have a bone problem??

      Son recently got diagnosed with Celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ShRa! First of all, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disorder. That is, the ingestion of gluten triggers the body's immune system to attack it's own tissues, primarily the tissues that line the small intestine. This causes inflammation. This inflammation produces certain antibodies that can be detected by serum testing. Over time, the inflammation damages the lining of the small intestine and compromises the efficiency of nutrient absorption since the small intestine (aka, small bowel) is the part of the intestinal track where essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed. Gluten is a protein found in three grains: wheat, barley and rye. In people with celiac disease, the immune system mistakes gluten as an invader. Two factors have to be present to develop active celiac disease. The first is the genetic potential. Two genes (and their variants), HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, have been tied to celiac disease. About 40% of the population has 1 or both of these genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. That means there is a second factor that must come into play to turn the genes on such that they become active in producing celiac disease. This second factor is not well understood but it is thought to involve some kind of stress event. For example, a viral infection or other acute illness or even prolonged psychological/emotional distress. Apparently, for most with the genetic potential for celiac disease, this never happens. Your son has been diagnosed as a celiac via serum antibody testing. Normally, there is a second stage of testing involving an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to microscopically check for damage. This second stage procedure is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis but is sometimes dispensed with if the serum antibody scores are quite high. Your son's tTG Ab-IGA score apparently qualifies for this in your PCP's opinion. The "normal" IGA (aka, "total IGA") score simply means he is not IGA deficient and is not a test for celiac disease per se. In the case of IGA deficiency, the tTG Ab-IGA score can present as a false negative. Since his total IGA is normal this is not an issue. The other celiac antibody test done was the Gliadin DGP Ab IgA and it was normal. Do not be concerned that one antibody test was high positive and the other was normal. This is typical. The tTG Ab-IGA is the most important one and the one test most ordered by doctors when checking for celiac disease. One concern I have going forward is the instruction from your PCP to have your son stop eating gluten before he sees the specialist. If the specialist wants to do an endoscopy with biopsy and a good amount of time elapses before that procedure happens, going gluten free now might allow for enough healing of the small bowel lining to invalidate the biopsy results. Kids heal fast! I would consider holding off on going gluten free unless your son's health is clearly in immediate danger by not doing so. I am linking two articles that might be helpful in. One is an overview of celiac serum antibody testing. The other is a primer for getting a handle on eating gluten free.
