gluten-free/df Protein Powder?

My son REALLY needs to gain weight. We need a protein powder that is gluten-free/DF and not soy-based (it's ok if it has a little but not too much, as soy isn't good for males in puberty).

I don't want to spend a lot of money on one that tastes yucky.

Rice powder, hemp powder? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I use both rice protein powder and hemp protein powder, depending on what I'm using them in.

Yeah, I'd say use Rice Protein because it's hypoallergenic. It's smart that you're not using Soy Protein because soy is very high in estrogen which is neither good for males or females for that matter. I've read that the human body cannot digest more than 20g of protein in one settini/serving. Makes sense to me so why not just have him eat Grass Fed Beef or Fish? Plenty of protein there that is healthier than isolating it from food sources.

Do you have a brand that you like? That's what I'm trying to find out...

Right, I haven't let him have any soy since he went diary free (except a little in margarine for baking) because it's so bad for developing males.

He eats well, he's just not getting enough calories to gain weight. This is not to replace beef or other good protein, but as a supplement. Since he doesn't get any milk, he can't have a quick glass at breakfast, so I want to make him a smoothie.

Do you know of a Rice Protein that tastes good? I just don't want to buy a $20 carton and not be able to use it because of the taste.

Thanks in advance.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.
