Help? Can I Drink This Protein Shake?

I go to Xsport fitness and they have their own protein powder to make shakes. I called the number on the bottle... and they told me to call the gym. The gym couldn't help me either... all I know is that I looked at the ingredients my self... on the alergen info.. it said... contains dairy and eggs...

It didn't say anything about wheat or gluten... the personal trainer on the line told me that protein powder is generally derived from whey... which is from milk... so there probably is no gluten in it....

however... the only ingredients I was iffy on.. were natural and artificial flavoring.... the powder I wanted to buy was chocolate and vanilla....

what do you think? Is this NO NO?

I'm still new at this so I can't be positive, but from what I've gathered the natural and artificial flavors SHOULD be okay as long as it was made in the US because of the new regulations regarding food content. However, my little cousin is allergic to pretty much everything edible so her mom calls a lot of companies and apparently barley can be used as a "natural flavor" so if you're drinking it and it's making you feel sick I would call the company again and check about those things specifically. They can be hesitant about telling you what the natural and artificial flavors are but if you tell them you don't need to know all of them you just need to make sure that it's completely gluten free they tend to be more forthcoming.

I am also new to this "lifestyle" and from what I have read usually when you have a gluten intolerence you are most likely to have a dairy intolerence/lactose intolerence. My nautropath also recommended to cut dairy our as well. Usually once you cut our gluten and repair the Villi's (which produce the enzyme lactase which helps you break down the sugar lactose) you can re-introduce dairy. I am a figure competitor so to cut out whey protein is harder then giving up whet and gluten. There are so many other forms of protein though that you can have in your protein shakes, Hemp, Rice...just add some berries and maybe some almond milk with ice, and you wouldn't even notice the difference.

Hope this helps :)

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
