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.

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
