Hi Darcy,
The use of stevia is becoming slightly more common, but is still pretty rare. I’ve occasionally seen a protein powder that uses stevia, and Ultima electrolyte replacement (which I use and love) but no preworkout blends that I am aware of.

I used ALR Industries, but the WTF bothered my stomach. Isn’t there any workout products that dont use artificial sweetner that is sugar free… no stevia products?

Hi Ankit,
Thanks for coming by!
I do not know what would be available to you in India, quite honestly. Take a look at the brands that are mentioned in the protein powder review posts, and see if any of those are available. If not, contact the manufacturers of the brands you can purchase to inquire about the gluten free status of their products. That’s always the best way to go, to be certain and most safe. Protein powder isn’t necessary, but it is a convenience. If you can’t find a safe brand you can always have some “real food” protein (meat/poultry/dairy/eggs) instead.
Be well!

Hi Kelly!
Thanks for sharing that. I was disappointed for sure in their response. I really believe that the sports supplement industry is missing a big chunk of potential customers by not making it easier to find gluten free products. Hopefully this will help with awareness. And thanks for the heads up on ALRI-I will definitely be contacting them!

I had a horrible time when I emailed BSN about their CellMass product to see if it contained gluten. They goofed around for about a month sending me a few replies that they were working on my inquiry, then sent me the “Items may or may not contain gluten” email. I was disgusted, and will not use anything of theirs ever. I have used and had great success with ALR Industries suppliments, and have never had a reaction to anything even with the number of digestive issues I have on top of Celiac.
