Hello, has anyone tried owyn protein shakes? they are certified gluten free. I have celiac, a month on a gluten-free diet but I'm underweight and I want to try something easy on my stomach, the pro elite vanilla shake sounds good, no sugar, thank you.

This is the first I've heard of them, and they seem to be both gluten and allergen free, which is rare in the nutritional shake category. If you end up trying them please let us know how they are. It looks like there are a lot of reviews on them, so perhaps you can read some, especially the bad ones, and decide if you want to try them?

Hi Scott and thank you. I have just ordered online the ones with no sugar, my local supermarkets and pharmacies only carry the ones with sugar. I will let you all know after I try them.

Sorry I know this is old but I absolutely love the OWYN protein shakes I've been getting the Elite Pro vanilla with no added sugar and adding matcha, carob, flaxseeds, and a few potions and powders to it that I take and its absolutely the best taste I've ever had on the planet really really good stuff Never had an issue with it gluten wise either

I use these all the time.  32 gm of protein and 200 calories.  I use the vanilla because I cannot have chocolate now (nothing to do with celiac disease) and the vanilla tastes quite good.  I also like the packaging; no throw away plastic containers to pollute the landfill.  Watch for sales on these and save $1 or or more for a pack of 4.

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
