I lost 90 lbs. rapidly from celiac disease and I lost my hair and major muscle mass. I look like a little old lady naked. UGH.

I am trying to regain some strength and I need more protein BUT I have to avoid dairy and soy and beans...that's a lot of protein sources to cut out....what can I do besides more meat/fish???

They are not appealing for breakfast and my appetite suffers anyway. It's getting better (6 weeks gluten-free)

Anyone use HEMP protein powder?? suggestions??

thanks!! :)

When I'm in the U.S. I always use hemp protein powder (from Trader Joe's) in my smoothies in the morning. Can't get it here - govt. is paranoid about hemp :P I do not use it to gain weight cos goodness knows I don't need that. It is just a good protein source for me.

You might as well call me Shroom, everyone else does, or Shroomie, or Shroomster. Heck, with one in one thousand pronouncing my real name correctly (outside of Italy), I answer to anything :D

If you can eat nuts, they are a good source of protein.

Hemp I have not tried yet. But I just placed a huge order through

NutsOnline and got some wonderful good quality nuts.

They have Certified Gluten Free products too which is really great!

I need more protein too and can't have eggs so decided it would be nuts for breakfast!

I notice they sell hemp at a reasonable price.

I might have to try it next time.

Good luck!

Hi Meat :)

Well, you are the 3rd person today to suggest more nuts, so I will "up" my nut intake! Oddly, I just placed an order to NUtsOnline for gluten-free flours! They came the next day! and they sent free treats, too. Seem like a good company!

I ordered some hemp protein from Amazon (Nutriva) before I knew that Nutsonline carried it. Well, I'll see how it goes with the hemp, nuts and less carbs/more protein (I had posted a second question about "feeling racy" and I am seeing now that the MORE PROTEIN theme seems to be the answer to both questions.)

I'll let you know how it works for me--and please, keep me posted on how you like the hemp!

Thanks for your suggestion!

I know that you already covered nuts, but not butter. Don't forget Almond Butter! It's packed with fiber, anti-oxidants, and protein.

Marries well with gluten-free bread, and apples (also in high fiber). Costco sells a club pack and you can find other jars at Whole Foods. Some even have small packs that resemble a ketchup pack -- and is mobile for easy travel.

Give almond butter a try!

I LOVE almond butter!! I will do as you suggest--thanks, GlutenGladiator!

After I heal my gut, I may be asking your advice about building my muscles back up. Right now, I am loaded with nasty knots (trigger points) in my trapezius, SCMs, hell, just about everywhere... causing me serious pain and several PTs and a gym fitness coach told me NO weight training until I feel better and have no trigger points in my muscles. I tried some machines at the gym last year and made things worse. I was pretty ill with malabsorption for quite a while. All efforts to get rid of the trigger points have failed and I am in miserable 24/7 pain. I was told to just stretch, gentle yoga and walk for now. That's about all I can muster the energy for anyway.

Okay if I check you later for help??

(chuckling)...yeah, we got the flour and dates we ordered the next day. Hubby says the dates are "freakin yummy" LOL. Wish I had thought of the nuts/nut butters BEFORE, so I don't have to pay another large shipping fee...but hey, that's par for the course.sigh... My brain is not at full speed YET....LOL

I meant to ask....are you MEAT for good because you have gone Paleo? just wondering. if so, is it working for you? Hubby says that's what I should do, but I can't get myself to eat meat for breakfast...

Well, I'm sorta Paleo.

I'd call it Paleo Plus.

The Plus is chocolate chip cookies or snickers. :D

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Jess270 · Posted

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
