Oat Bran? Need A High Protein Shake.

Hey guys! Is oat bran gluten free? I'm trying to find a good gluten free/casein free/caffeine free high protein & low carb shake and some of them contain oat bran. I have found a certified gluten/casien free shake, but it contains caffeine...UHHH! So, the other options have oat bran. Any thoughts?

I've got an awesome high protein, low carb shake that is gluten & lactose free, but it's made from whey and my body seems to not agree with it since I went gluten-free. Any thoughts as to why???

Sorry I don't have any info on the shakes/oat bran but wanted to say I'm lactose intolerant too and whey absolutely kills me. Casseine doesn't bother me too much, I can tolerate a wee bit but I basically avoid dairy all together. I'm not sure where whey falls - is is lactose (sugar) or casseine (protein) - bit whatever it is I have to avoid it like the plague.

I hear you! I don't know the chemistry parts of whey and casein, all I know is that if I ingest it, my intestines go haywire ;) In fact, I had no idea I was dairy intolerant until I stopped eating gluten. Oddly enough, I can tolerate Stoneyfield plain organic yogurt (I mix it with organic applesauce...YUMMY). I wish I was born with an owner's manual to my body :D

A whole bunch of whey shake producers make cookies and cream flavors and use shared lines. There are a few hemp protein powders out there that claim to be gluten free are are supposed to have good amino acid profiles but I've never tried them myself so couldn't give you a person review of them. I just chow down on chicken turkey breast for extra protein.

I wouldn't trust oat bran unless it's made from certified gluten-free oats. Oats have terrible CC issues because of wheat growing in the oat fields. Also some celiacs are sensitive to oats in the first place.

Skylark--have you found any oats you can trust?

Last time I ate oats I reacted, but I'm better at the diet now so I could have just made some other mistake. I'm going to give oats one more go and if I react again I'm going to assume I'm one of the oat sensitive folks. If you want to try oats, the ones from Bob's Red Mill are grown in wheat-free fields and Bob's tests them for gluten.

Just make sure you grab the gluten free ones from Bob's....I didn't notice mine were not gluten-free until I got home. <_< They have both kinds.

I've seen gluten-free oats but not gluten-free oat bran.

Chia Seeds are easily digestible and high in protein. They can be used as is or mixed with water and allowed to gel overnight in the fridge to get all the amino acids out of them. I've added them to smoothies for my daughter. I don't have an actual recipe. I would just use my Magic Bullet. Throw in some frozen berries, maybe a half a banana if we have it, a drizzle of honey, a few spoonfuls of sorbet if we have it and some rice milk. To this I would add about a Tablespoon of the chia seeds. Blend and drink.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Mama trying to help 3 year old!!!

      I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist might also explore if there’s concurrent inflammation or autoimmune involvement (like juvenile arthritis, which sometimes overlaps with celiac). Gentle massage, Epsom salt baths (for magnesium absorption), or low-impact activities like swimming could help ease discomfort while he heals. Keep advocating for him—you’re doing an amazing job!

      Thank you for the input. We go back to the GI doctor in June- she wants to do more labs to check vitamin levels( not sure why the didn't check all at once with the iron being so low) and recheck inflammatory levels. Just trying to find him some relief in the meantime.
