Why is my protein making me sick?

If you have narrowed it down to these two items, simply dont drink them. Have you experienced this before? When you werent taking a sup did you have these reactions to other foods?
Whats in the ingredients of these two items? Its really a simple matter of tossing these, and finding one that agrees with you.

are you mixing the protein with water...or something else??

i'm lactose intolerant and have no problem with muscle milk...check to see if there's any milk product in the ingredients...do you have problems with other milk products?? (cramps,etc...or worse)
Lactose intolerance at a glance
Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest lactose, the main sugar in milk, that gives rise to gastrointestinal symptoms.
Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the intestinal enzyme lactase that splits lactose into two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose, and allows lactose to be absorbed from the intestine.
The primary symptoms of lactose intolerance are diarrhea, flatulence (passing gas), and abdominal pain. Abdominal bloating, abdominal distention, and nausea also may occur.
Lactose intolerance can be diagnosed by eliminating lactose from the diet, milk challenge, breath test, blood glucose test, stool acidity test, and intestinal biopsy.
Lactose intolerance is treated with dietary changes, supplements of lactase enzyme, and adaptation to increasing amounts of milk.
Avoidance of milk and milk-containing products can lead to a dietary deficiency of calcium and vitamin D that, in turn, can lead to bone disease (osteoporosis

You don't HAVE to take a protein suppliment if you can get your proteins from food, but it can help aid in recovery according to most people, it does seem strange you would get sick later in the day rather than right after having it...
Have you tried eating something different for lunch to see if that helps?

Maybe its an overload of protein between the shake and lunch. I feel totally sick if I have too much protein in my system at one time. It could be a dehydration thing too. After working out, just mixing it with the amt of water for the shake may not be adequate enough hydration at that point to digest the protein...and then you probably add more at lunch.
one of the most common things that can make you feel ill with the supplements is the sweeteners, some people just react badly to specific ones. Maybe try an unflavored natural whey mixed with juice or a naturally sweetened one (I use ON 100% natural).
