Whey protein is bad for me

Hello all,

I started using Whey protein but it causes lots of bloating and gas in my body. I think I might be allergic to it. Any recommendations for other protein shakes??
 
First off, what are you mixing it with? Water, milk, juice?

What brand did you buy? Is it just whey or is it intended as a meal replacement?
 
It sounds like you bought cheap brands.

However, if for whatever reason you feel bloated, don't take it anymore!

Would you put your finger in an electrical socket if it kept giving you a jolt? I hope not. So why would you continue to eat something that makes you feel bad? Not logical if you ask me.
 
Its 100% Gold Standard Whey protein, Double Chocolate flavor

I mix it with water because I am sensitive to milk

Any suggestions

If you're buying a super cheap brand, try a better one first. If it still makes you feel sick, switch to egg protien. That's what I recommend to the people who come to me with whey complaints after I have them try a higher quality brand. I know I personally get crampy with too much whey.

that could be your problem. Other than that the cheap stuff usually is bad for me. Or you could try eating a little something with it. That might help settle your stomach.
 
so you're lactose intolerant. you chose the wrong protein powder. its not a 'cheap/crappy' brand, but its not lactose free. you need 100% lactose free protein to avoid the bloat and gas.

egg protein would work, or any brand of whey that claims 100% lactose free.
 
Damn you Malkore. I wanted to say that.
