Hi folks! I just got an email from Cytosport following an enquiry I made, and thought I'd share the answer with you. I love Muscle Milk because it's lactose free, but I wanted to make sure it was gluten-free also. Here was the reply:

I have used Muscle Milk for a couple of years. I primarily use Vanilla Creme powder. I have also used the Muscle Milk RTD's - especially when traveling.

Muscle Milk has worked well for me, though it is a heavy drink. It has a blend of whey (including the harder to digest and less bio-available whey concentrate) and casein proteins.

I am not currently using Muscle Milk. I have returned to Nature's Best IsoPure. The IsoPure is easier on my stomach, though it is more expensive. The IsoPure is all whey isolate, though not micro/cross filtered - it is ion exchange whey isolate. I recently used an IsoPure RTD when traveling. Again, it is more expensive than the Muscle Milk RTD, but IMO tasted a lot better and was easier on my stomach.

I called Nature's Best and they stated that all of the IsoPure products were gluten free.

The IsoPure Mass was what I used to really jump start my weight gain a few years ago.

I know this is an old thread, but I had a reaction to the Muscle Milk chocolate flavor this morning. I've had it in smoothies before and never noticed a reaction (not to say I didn't have one) but this morning I had a whole scoop mixed in 8oz of water. It's the ONLY thing I had in the morning, and within two hours I had my typical symptoms.  Gassy, stomach pain, bloating, etc.

 

The bad did state "gluten free" but as others mentioned ... it's manufactured in a facility that processes wheat.

 

Looks like I'm going to have to find a certified gluten-free protein powder.

Just experienced the same thing - I'm newly diagnosed celiac disease via EGD in July & have been working on eliminating gluten from my diet.  Last weekend I had a green smoothie for breakfast with Chocolate Muscle Milk.  Within about 30 minutes, I was nauseous & bloated & then vomited.  Pretty sure the muscle milk was the culprit....am wondering if perhaps the factory has some cross-contamination between the Malted Chocolate & regular Chocolate?  In any case, I will be trying the IsoPure mentioned above!

 

Thanks for the recommendation!!!

I see this is an old blog, but wanted to respond. I have used Pure Protein for over a year and a half with no reactions on a weight loss program through my doctor. I switched to Muscle Milk and am having reactions to it. I wasn't sure it was it at first, but have tested it out the last couple of days and I'm pretty sure it's what is causing my issues.

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.
