Canadian celiacs: I'm looking for a gluten-free protein powder without a super long ingredients list

I'm from Ontario and struggling with finding a cheap, pure protein powder. I used to buy hemp protein from bulk barn for fairly cheap but that's no longer an option. I've been vegetarian for 8 years and considering re-introducing small amounts of meat because my options are so limited now with a celiac/ IBS combo. Does anyone have any brands they trust? Hemp seems so be super cross contaminated now... even the brands that claim gluten-free have traces :(

LOL yeah I fell into that same thing with hemp -_ - I have to buy my seeds from mygerbs now and mill my own in a coffee burr grinder. But honestly I Nima tested even the gluten-free certified ones to find gluten after getting sick from them....mygerbs is the only place I can get hte hemp seeds safe now, oh and they ship to canada.

On other notes, I just Jarrow Pumpkin (Very pure along the same lines as hemp profile wise), Naked Pea, Julian Bakery Pegan (unflavored is sancha inchi, the cinnamon twist is a good one that is pumpkin based), Growing Naturals Pea, Found a sunflower protein that I missed the name of awhile back also. I have used a few others in the past but mostly mix my own blends now.

Protes Makes a protein chip out of pea protein and even the zesty nacho is vegan.

Hey Ennis, thanks for the recommendations (and the empathy!!). I never thought of milling my own hemp seeds. We have two coffee grinders in my house so if it saves me some money I'll do it myself :)

Hey Ennis, can I make protein powder just the same with hemp hearts/ shelled hemp seeds?

It will have the full fat profile of the seeds but yes. Whole shell will be bit more gritty but have the added fiber. A burr grinder is needed and needs to be done in pulses to prevent it from getting hot and making it into a paste. (I have tried in a blade grinder and it makes a thick paste if you run it long enough to grind it all uniformly.)

I use the whole shell myself, I mix the gritty flour into baked goods for added fiber, and protein, it does have gritty texture....I have not tried the shelled hemp and always get the whole when ordering from Mygerbs.

I'm sure this reply seems late, but You should definitely check out

the IronVegan product line. I've got Celiac disease and IBS and have

no problems whatsoever. Their protein bars and powders for shakes are

so great!

James, thank you for the Iron Vegan recommendation. I may try their Sprouted Protein. 

Ennis, what is the sunflower protein one you mentioned? 

I seek out gluten-free, low fodmap, recently tried Whey Factors.  It is gluten-free and met low FODMAP criteria, but is dairy based.

      Your doctor may or may not be well-informed about the issue you raise so I would not agree that he/she would necessarily be the best person to rely on for a good answer. The question actually raises two issues.  The first issue has to do with cross contamination and individual sensitivity as dublin55 alluded to. Oats and wheat are both cereal grains that are typically grown in the same areas, transported in the same trucks, stored in the same silos and processed on the same equipment. So, there is usually significant CC (Cross Contamination). With gluten free oats, there is some effort to separate these processes that would otherwise cause significant CC and "gluten free" oats should meet the FDA requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm of gluten. But this 22 ppm standard is not strict enough for more sensitive celiacs. "Certified gluten free" oats (and other food products are held to a stricter standard, that being not exceeding 10 ppm. But even that is too much gluten for some super sensitive celiacs and will cause a reaction. The second issue with oats has nothing to do with gluten per se but with the protein found in oats called "avenin". Avenin has a structure similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction in some celiacs. This is called "cross reaction" not to be confused with "cross contamination" discussed in the previous paragraph. So, for whatever reason, whether cross contamination or cross reaction, it is estimated that about 10% of celiacs react to oats.

      Karen, that sounds really tough. You must find both RA management and your new gut problems extremely irritating to handle at once. Together with your pain relief you still experience ongoing bloating complications that drag on without a resolution. Of course visiting a doctor to obtain a proper celiac diagnostic evaluation becomes necessary when no formal diagnosis has been received. Your journey toward recovery has been lengthy yet it brings comfort to notice your progress during this time. This support group offers you valuable help because there are people experiencing the same concerns with you. Working through your issues will be easier.

      Yeah, it’s tricky. I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions too. Some folks can tolerate certified gluten-free oats without a problem, but others with celiac still react. Honestly, it really depends on your sensitivity. Your doctor would be the best person to ask about your specific situation.

      Hi guys! Can we eat them an can they cause villious atrophy? I saw multiple articles about it an they have very different opinions… so what did your doctor told you? Thanks!

      I can't edit my posts, but I forgot to note as well: I also had low iron and vitamin d according to my blood tests, despite already taking supplements for each
