Is Immunocal bioactive whey protein contraindicated in Celiac Sprue disease?
A. No. These patients are usually instructed not ingest wheat or gluten. There is no wheat, or gluten found naturally in bioactive whey protein. Furthermore, at least one brand of bioactive whey protein (Immunocal, from a Canadian manufacturer) is lactose-free. There is no reason to believe that that bioactive whey protein would be detrimental in patients with Celiac Sprue.
