Herbalife Formula 1 Protein Shake Mix

A friend is just starting to sell Herbalife and I like the idea of their products. She did some research for me and came up with "the mix is not certified gluten-free, however, if you look at the ingredients, you will not find "gluten or gluten type ingredients". We have many "gluten free" clients who consume Protein Drink mix every day with no problem or reaction. But if you still do not want to drink that, Vanilla Soy milk is Certified Gluten Free and you can make the shake with that and Allergen Free Formula 1 (soy free)"

This answer makes me a "bit" nervous. I was wondering if anyone has used it and what reactions, if any you have experienced?

Those are actually the ingredients for their older version. These are the most recent on their web site. Do they look gluten free to you guys? (I'm new at this and this powder is a big part of my diet so I'm also curious!)

I followed your link & it said in big letters Contains Wheat

So.... No I wouldn't use it.

editted: On one computer it took me to the link & it showed the contains wheat statement. On the other computer it had a different list of ingredients. Lots of strange sounding stuff. No obvious wheat? :(

I don't see any gluten ingredients, but yuck. Why would you even consider drinking that?

Herbalife is one of the products I tried in the 80s to try to make me feel better before I knew anything about gluten. It did not make me feel better and now I know why :)

Seriously.

Eat food instead.

      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?

      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.
