Newly Diagnosed, looking for protein powder recommendation

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed last Monday with Celiac disease and am in the process of trying to get adjusted.  I've been having some trouble keeping my protein intake up and I've been going to start taking whey protein.  The one I'm looking at is sold at walmart and is called "Six Star 100% Whey Protein".  The label says that it is Gluten Free but the ingredients list "L-Glutamine" and also states that it is "Processed in a facility that also process wheat...".  Should I use this protein or should I keep looking for something else?  If I should keep looking does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

L-glutamine is an amino acid. It is not gluten. As to the shared facility question, opinions vary, but I don't worry about it (the disclosure is voluntary). It just means somewhere in the factory.

Thank you so much psawyer.  I hope you folks don't mind but I'm going to have quite a few questions as these is brand new to me and a bit of an adjustment.  I've had stomach issues all my life and it's just now at the age of 38 that I get diagnosed.

Thanks again for the info.

Personally I sould look for one that doesn't have that warning.  You may also want to look into Hemp protein. Whey is a dairy product and being newly diagnosed you may not tolerate dairy well.

Hemp went to the gutter recently with CC issues. They are making way to much of it with the canibis/hemp craze on roataion with wheat. Only ONE brand certifies gluten free, and 2 out of 5 containers I got from them were clean and tested gluten free........so I would avoid hemp for now unless you but Just Hemp Foods AND TEST your cansister.

Avoid whey for now -_- the stuff is going to be hard on and many have issues with various dairy proteins due to damaged intestines.
Look for plant based ones Blends Nutra Key -V-pro and MRM Veggie Elite are good, I also like pure proteins like Julian Bakery Pegan Cinnamon Twist (pumpkin seed), Julian Bakery Pegan (Sancha Inchi, taste a bit like roasted peanuts), Jarrow Pumpkin seed protein (very high in zinc, dark, gritty but AWSOME for recovery and before bed), And I use Naked Pea unflavored to make protein crackers and in cooking. Julian bakery also makes grain free breads low in carbs and high in proteins and fats that are great for body builders. And they have egg white and beef protein isolates if you feel the need to go hardcore bulking. These are what I have been using. Since your new you might want to read over the newbie 101 section. and I got a list of foods, but you should look at whole unprocessed meals for now with simple ingredients, if you want good building ones go for baked chicken/fish over greens, omelettes, soups with roast cuts in it. and veggies etc. I do ketogenic diet and body building myself, but have to avoid meats do to pancreatic enzyme issues and digesting meats.

If you do not have time/money to get all new pots/pans ect. Omelette makers, steamers, grill plates for the microwave are available from nordicware, and you can foil line baking dishes, and crockpot liners for your crockpot to prevent contamination.

You don't need to replace all your pots and pans. You would want to replace any that are scratched like enamel or teflon but pans that can be washed clean can be kept as can plates and silverware. You do want a new cutting board and a new strainer for stuff like pasta.

      There is not enough information to assess the likelihood of coeliac disease. You'll have to chase this up with the quack. The lab should provide antibody titres and a reference range. They might just have done an EMA test, which is negative/positive and antiquated - a proper IgA-ttG2 test would be more helpful.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are not an accurate measurement of vitamin stores within cells where the vitamins are actually utilized.  The brain will order cells in tissues and organs to put their stored vitamins into the blood stream to supply the brain and heart.  Deficiency symptoms can appear before there's a change in blood levels.   The eight B vitamins are water soluble.  That means they can get flushed out of your system easily with that Russian Roulette Running.  Some vitamin deficiencies have gastrointestinal symptoms that mimic Celiac Disease.  Thiamine deficiency has gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhea.  Vitamin C is also water soluble with gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea when deficient.  Symptoms of a deficiency in Niacin B3 include diarrhea, and a blistering reaction to sunlight.  Have a nice vacation and keep us posted on your progress when you get back! P.S. There's not a difference between being glutened and being cross contaminated.  You'll get your usual symptoms.  The digestive tract has a limited vocabulary.

      Yes that's why I'm holding off on getting tested until after the summer so no Russian roulette bathroom escapades then I will reintroduce and get tested. The vitamins aren't a supplement they are frozen fruits and vegetables that you blend with water so it's natural fruit and veggies that I have used for 5 years daily. I don't take supplements I did full vitamin bloodwork and all great levels for what I need.

      any advice would be helpful

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There's a Vegetarian version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. There are vegetables that can provide Calcium...broccoli, kale, lentils, tofu.  Talking to a nutritionist can help identify vegetables that can provide you with the minerals and vitamins you need.  Getting dietary advice is part of proper follow up care for people with Celiac disease. tTg testing is used for diagnostic purposes.  It should not be used to signify compliance or healing.
