Question from Joni:
I was wondering if you could do an article or give some information about protein powders and why to use them. Since I’ve been tracking my calories/fat/protein etc. I see that I’m having a hard time getting the protein I need without getting high carbs and fat. Some insight to this would be nice…if you haven’t already done it, I’m still reading through your site – there is a lot to take in! Thanks!
Addendum to podcast: Whey protein isolate does contain, although in small amounts, lactose and casein. Those following a dairy free diet should not consume whey protein. Check out the Dairy Free/Gluten Free Protein Powder 101 for some other options.
Question from Valen:
Hi, I love your website, it is very informative, and well put together.
I’m very curious about your story of what led to your knee surgeries, is there a
post on your website explaining this? I’m just hoping it wasn’t an effect of
your bodybuilding. Bodybuilding and competing is a dream of mine.
I’m 20 and have been lifting off and on since I was 13. My parents, doctors
and injuries have stopped me from pursuing my goal to build a lot of muscle.
…
I’m curious what your first jobs were, how you sparked your interest in
health/fitness and about your journey in becoming a physical therapist, and
personal trainer. Thank you for your time!
Comment from Alta:
BTW, I have to thank you for encouraging me to bulk cook – specifically the grilled meats thing. Last weekend, I grilled a BUNCH of chicken breasts and thighs, and previously, I’ve always thought that the meat would somehow taste like “leftovers” if I did this, but they don’t! I’ve been able to increase my protein intake conveniently by bringing about 3 oz of chicken breast along with my lunches at work, and I’ve used the grilled thighs along with broccoli slaw and mango in rice paper wraps, in salads, and this morning, along with sauteed mushrooms, cabbage, and a fried egg for a unique but delicious breakfast! While I love to cook and I tend to be in the kitchen daily, this is a great time saver. 
It’s funny how simple things like this make a difference, isn’t it?

GFF Podcast Episode 7-Q&A
What’s new with me and where the heck have I been
-Contest
-working on the Quick Start Tips Guide (living a healthy gluten free life) coming soon! I promise by the end of May/beginning of June the manual will be available.
Q1-From Vicky: I was diagnosed with Celiac 8 years ago and am allergic to corn. Have been plugging along
not really successful in the exercise department but doing well with the GF and no corn diet. But now find I also cannot have dairy which just has thrown me for a loop. And I broke my wrist in Jan. and had surgery with two rods. Just finishing up the physical therapy on that and really don’t know just where to start on diet or exercise. I mean I can make meals but
how to be healthy/nutritious meals. And I can walk, but that has never been enough really.
a- Check out the free GF Fit 101 and nutrition guide. Walking is great, and something you can do now. Sometimes just getting started with SOMETHING is the hardest part-so start with that. Really what you eat is what has the biggest impact on how you feel and look as far as weight goes.
You mentioned that you’re finishing up with PT for your wrist-after your through with that you may consider starting some weight training. It’s crucial for maintaining strength and bone mass, especially for women as we get older. Your PT may be able to recommend some resources to learn weight training exercises with a personal trainer, if not let me know.
Q2-From Alex: First off I’d really like to let you know what a help your nutrition guide has been so far! I’m 17 years old and was just diagnosed as a celiac. It has been such a dramatic change for me, trying to deal with eating the right foods, staying fit and going through high school. Lately i have noticed that I have been eating pretty much the same meal everyday. I wake up, have a bowl of cereal with an apple around 10. For lunch i have carrots, yogurt with granola and some type of chips. Dinner usually varies, but it is starting to bother me because i know that it is extremely unhealthy for your body to only take in the same types of food. Do you have any advice for me? Its just difficult finding a type of lunch that is easy to take to school.
A-YAY for Alex! Yes you want to have as much variety in your diet as possible, but don’t stress about it. You can make small changes of similar things. For example, switch up the type of cereal you have from time to time (Custom Choice is fun), or have an orange or berries or banana instead of an apple. Portable stuff for school:
GF soup or chili on a thermos (Kettle Cuisine is a good pre-made one)
GF Deli turkey (Boar’s Head is gluten free) rolled around cheese and carrots (one of my faves!)
Leftovers from dinner-chicken, beef, anything, with salad or veggies
Cottage cheese instead of yogurt
Peanut or almond butter with apples, string cheese..
Good snacks are nuts, fruit, and really any of the stuff above.
Q3-From Monty: I struggle with my diet. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with a gluten allergy. Since then I’ve become much more in touch with my body. The smallest amount of gluten makes me sick and takes me over a week to get back to normal. I’ve started a hard work out recently but, struggle to get the nutrients I need. I don’t like to eat because I am so miserable when I eat. I love vegetables and fruit but, not meat. I don’t tolerate many processed foods and would prefer to live off protein shakes. Any suggestions? I really want to be able to work out intense but, unable to do it now.
A-I think I will need a bit more information to be able to help you more effectively. Can you keep a food log for a couple of days, and keep notes of how you feel when you eat certain foods?
First though, I would suggest you follow up with your doctor to see if perhaps you are dealing with other food intolerance or GI issues you may not be aware of. If you are reacting to anything you eat, there may very well be another issue going on.
You said you don’t tolerate meat-is that chicken/turkey also, or just red meat? How about fish, eggs, and dairy? Beans?

Gluten Free Fitness and Wellness Podcast-Episode 4. Part 3 of 3 with Gluten Free RN Shelly Stuart
In this podcast we discuss several approaches to eating in a gluten free diet, the potential nutritional pitfalls and benefits. We also discuss and debunk the idea that eating gluten free has to be expensive.

More from Shelly:
In the podcast, I mentioned that I feel better eating grain-free. This
is likely due to a sensitivity or food intolerance to some of the
gluten-free (GF) grains. Testing for food sensitivities and allergies
(through a naturopathic physician or allergist) may help to identify
which grains are causing a reaction, so that I’m not needlessly
avoiding safe foods. If you think you may be having a reaction to some
GF grains, consider screening for allergies and sensitivities to
clarify which grains may be responsible for your symptoms.
I encourage everyone to have their symptoms thoroughly investigated by
their MD and specialists before implementing a therapeutic diet or
making any changes. As well, I recommend waiting until CD/gluten
sensitivity testing is complete before initiating a gluten-free diet
because it may create a false negative. Consult your MD, Registered
Dietitian, or other medical specialists involved in your care to
determine if nutrient supplements should be taken and to identify
appropriate dosages for you. Toxicities can occur with over
supplementation and this can lead to permanent damage. A Registered
Dietitian can also provide guidance to ensure all nutritional needs
are met.

Additional notes from Shelly:
On the podcast, Erin and I discussed probiotics. Christina Tennyson
(MD), from the Celiac Disease Center in Chicago, mentioned that she is
not sure about recommending probiotics yet. Probiotics might help to
inhibit pathogens and modulate the immune system. However, there are
many unanswered questions. With Celiac disease, what are the best and
safest strains to use? Is there a possibility that a Celiac’s immune
system may respond to probiotics differently? A 2008 study, “Antigenic
Proteins Of Lactobacillus Acidophilus That Are Recognised By Serum IgG
Antibodies In Children With Type 1 Diabetes And Coeliac Disease”,
highlights this possibility. As with any food, gluten contamination
leading to an immune reaction is also a concern? Overall, is there
enough research to know how probiotics will affect those with celiac
disease? I do take probiotics and I have not had a reaction that I’m
aware of. However, as we know with silent Celiac Disease, pathological
changes can be occurring within the body without any obvious symptoms
(2,6,8). If you are interested in consuming probiotics, I recommend
that you talk to your medical doctor to discuss the pros and cons
before making any changes.
Erin and I also discussed whether Celiac Disease is more prevalent in
men or women. I would like to clarify that Celiac Disease tends to be
diagnosed more in women. However, population sampling has demonstrated
that the prevalence of Celiac Disease is fairly equal between men and
women. It seems reasonable to suspect that perhaps women seek medical
attention for their symptoms earlier than men, or women may have more
encounters with physicians due to regular physicals (8).
I would also like to mention that it is possible to have a gluten
sensitivity even if you test negative for CD. It is also possible that
some of your symptoms could be due to a food allergy/sensitivity or
other disease process. Allergy testing by an allergist and/or a
naturopathic physician may help to investigate this possibility. Other
tests can help rule out other diseases.
I encourage everyone to have their symptoms thoroughly investigated by
their MD and specialists before implementing a therapeutic diet or
making any changes. As well, I recommend waiting until CD/gluten
sensitivity testing is complete before initiating a gluten-free diet
because it may create a false negative. Consult your MD, Registered
Dietician, or other medical specialists involved in your care to
determine if nutrient supplements should be taken and to identify
appropriate dosages for you. Toxicities can occur with over
supplementation and this can lead to permanent damage. A Registered
Dietician can also provide guidance to ensure all nutritional needs
are met.
