So...after a long day of internet searching yesterday, and a big whopping headache, I realized I am just not going to be likely to find some Protein powder. The shellfish issue is really a big one - almost all are processed in a facility that also processes shellfish. Or they have sucralose...or both!

Please note I am only working on the clears diet right now - that is my biggest concern. I have found a few options for after that.

Soooo, I emailed Monica (Dr Aceves) and she searched also and came back and told me I'd just have to have broth for those 10 days.

Ok...that's fine. NOW my issue is that I am finding a very big difference in the protein counts for broth recipes. Some say as low as 1g and others as high as 27g and it looks like the same recipe!

More headaches.

Does anyone know how you would possibly figure out the protein content of home made broth? I don't cook at all and have no clue how to do this.

Does anyone have ideas for getting protein during the clears phase other than broth?

Thanks. I really felt at my wits end yesterday...just felt hopeless. I can't have anything that could possibly be processed with shellfish or I will die!

I just did not worry too much about protein in those first days, but focused on getting in the necessary fluids. I was able to add a little Isopuke to my vitamin water, but I don't know if you could tolerate that. Avoiding dehydration early on is the most critical thing.

Yeah, I'm just worried I will be weak and exhausted. I can't do Isopure or Unjury which is what they sent me.

I have this Protein powder called juice Plus+ Complete. I had to order it. One scoop equals 13 grams protein.

I am looking at the can right now. I don't see/read anywhere on it that may contain shellfish and no sucralose in it. "sweetend with natural fructose" is what I have read on it.

Google it and see if this may help you.

Thanks...do you know if they sell samples of Juice Plus+ Complete?

Newmom,

sorry, I do not know if they sell samples. I ordered the dutch chocolate - tasty for me.
