I have celiac so I avoid whey protein is there any other that is good to use for someone with sensitive gut?

If you have celiac disease, you should avoid commercial products because they contain ingredients that are harmful to your digestive tract.
You must get your protein from real food.

I know that this goes against the current popular dietary advice, but to heal your gut you must stop eating ALL plant matter. That's right, do not eat any grains, vegetables or fruits. The fiber, anti-nutrients (oxalates, lectins, phytates, etc.) and other toxins in plants are very harmful to the digestive tract and the body in general. Eat as much meat (beef, pork, chicken, fish, etc.) and eggs as you like. These foods provide abundant high quality protein and all other nutrients. After just a few days of being plant-free, your gut will begin to heal and you’ll feel a lot better.  
Remember: there’s no substitute for real food

Thanks for the answer. 

If anyone knows something about this quote: ''Villin is a calcium-dependent actin-binding cytoskeletal protein that is found in the brush border of the intestine''

 

Does that mean it needs calcium to function and to grow?  Or is Villin something different from villi? What critical ''building'' nutrients does the villi need to work?

 

I found this: Villin-1 is a 92.5 kDa tissue-specific actin-binding protein associated with the actin core bundle of the brush border. Brush border cells are found mainly in the following organs:

The small intestine tract: This is where absorption takes place.[2][3][4] The brush borders of the intestinal lining are the site of terminal carbohydrate digestions. The microvilli that constitute the brush border have enzymes for this final part of digestion anchored into their apical plasma membrane as integral membrane proteins. These enzymes are found near to the transporters that will then allow absorption of the digested nutrients. Microvilli on the surface of epithelial cells such as those lining the intestine increase the cell's surface area and thus facilitate the absorption of ingested food and water molecules.

Observation with scanning electron microscopy revealed that vitamin D and dietary calcium were required for normal intestinal villi and microvilli formation.

I remember when I took vitamin D with vitamin c and the absorption seemed to increase. It never dawned to me then but now that I've seen this study, taking vitamin D with other preparations can increase absorption. Maybe a combination of proteins + vitamin d and calcium.

can intestinal parasite destroy villi

One of the most critical factors for microbial growth is the availability of nutrients and energy. Microbes need carbohydrates, fats, proteins, metals, and vitamins to survive, just like animals
