Hi all... kinda new here... I've gotten so much good info here on these boards so I thought I'd try to make a contribution or two... anyway... getting enough protein to support my muscles is not just vital to my own workouts and health but to my personal fitness training biz... when I first went wf, gluten-free, df I panicked because all my favorite protein and nutritional shakes were found to containin some sort of wheat, gluten or dairy derivative... anyway... I was so happy when I found the absolutely, most righteous shake I have ever tasted... I mean... throw some ice in with it in a blender... and it is the creamiest, yummiest "milk" shake ever!!! In fact... I even like this stuff waaaaay better than my former products... it tastes like you're eating something sinful... that it's hard to believe it's good for you... anyway... you can find the shakes here... either in whey or in egg whites: Open Original Shared Link or at amazon .com... he also has some bars and other products... the ingredients are simple and natural... and it appears that most of his products (except for the peanut bar) are wheat and gluten free... and for those of you sensitive to dairy and egg... he also has a nutritional shake and energy nuggets made from sweet potatoes...

Thanks Karen... I thought this was going to be really difficult and that I would feel so alone... but finding this board was a godsend... so any tips I can add is the least I can do...

Keep the tips coming! This is a great place to share information. The gluten-free diet is a hard at first, but this board really helps. I almost always find an answer to my questions by searching old posts. You find out pretty quickly that you're not alone.

Take care!

I use the Jay Robb egg white protein shakes, but not the strawberry one. It has stevia in it and I had a BAD reaction to that. I like the chocolate and the plain. But I don't use a blender. I did the first few times, but I found that it whipped up too much air into a froth and that was causing too much trapped air in my stomach. It was very uncomfortable. Instead I put however much liquid I want into a container that holds about twice the amount that I plan to drink, then put in the scoop of powder and about 4 ice cubes and shake until it is well mixed. I have found the egg protein mixes very smooth and very few clumps (if any at all). I like it mixed with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze (Chocolate or Vanilla) and it makes for a smoother creamy "milk" shake.

Welcome, Robina!

Just the sort of tip I've been waiting for. I'm gluten-free, DF and soy free too. The egg white option looks great, do you have a favorite flavor? I'm working towards my black belt test and it seems I can never get enough protein in for the tough workouts! Thanks for the tip about Amazon, I love ordering from them.

Welcome to the boards, they are truly worth their weight in gold for the info and support you can get here!

I love all their flavors... but being a chocolate fanatic... I've gotta go with the chocolate as being the best :-)

I signed up for the annual membership at Jayrobb.com when I placed my order... I was going to order from Amazon as I do for just about everything else... but then I thought about how often I drink protein shakes (twice per day - one upon rising and one post workout) so I figured I'd be better off in the long run paying the $24 for the membership and then buying my products direct from the company for the 10% per order discount...

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.
