Specific Protien brand

Hi my girlfriend has UC and has been on the paleo diet and is looking for a Protien to take that does have any artificial flavors, preservatives, sugars, milk, GMO's, or gluten. Is there such a thing?

Thank you, also is there a chocolate alternative?

uswellness meats sells protein powder that is grass fed 100% whey protein.

The question is a weird one. Why would someone on the Paleo diet need more protein?

Whoops missed the paleo thing. I guess if cavemen had protein powder, they can have cows.

Jose,

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, there's a brand I use: Dr. Mercola's Pro-Optimal Whey Protein, chocolate flavoured, which tastes delicious.
It's pricey, BUT it's made from grass-fed cows ( it's as Paleo as it gets), no hormones, no antibiotics, and already contains some digestive enzymes in it. And it's easy on the gut. Just make sure if you make it with almond milk ( that's the way I make mine) , check the label for carrageenan ( which you DO NOT want as it induces UC).

I"d like to share some things that may help her as well.

As a newbie to the forum, I think it's important for you to know that you have options, which your doc probably won't tell you about. So let me share with you what's worked for me in the hopes it might help you too.

Some meds work for some and not for others.
IMO, it isn't one size fits all, and you have to find what works for you, and it may be a combination of things like diet, meds, supplements, etc...

For me, the traditional meds failed me and the mesalamines I became intolerant of.
And when the doc gave me a choice of surgery or remicade, I balked and had to find my own way.

He also told me diet has nothing to do with UC, but I found that it has a great deal to do with exacerbating its symptoms!

I found that by taking certain proactive steps, it put me in full remission.
My steps to remission included: diet modification, various supplements, probiotics, and LDN, low lose naltrexone..

If any of this interests you, there are things IMO that you can control, which will have a direct impact on your disease, the symptoms you experience and their severity.

For more info on the protocol which has put me into remission, please go to this link: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=1666318 , and look at the 11th post.

Jose,

Yes, the docs like to propagate the BS.
IMO and per my experience, diet has EVERYTHING to do with it.

Whether it's HFCS, gluten and dairy intolerances, GMO foods, and not to mention eating foods that are high in omega 6 and therefore highly inflammatory.

Beware there's SO much doctors don't know!
And won't tell you about.

try natures best isopure protein its expensive but worked for me in flares i am currently still using it.   its lactose free sugar free as well   try vitacost.com or bodybuilding.com
