Hi. I am just gonna throw this out and see if I can come to any conclusions with the help of the expertise of this board.

I have tried meal replacement shakes and protein shakes (all different kinds) as a way to help lose weight, and I get this itchy throat after I drink them. I have tried soy based as well as whey based. I get the same reaction. The only ones I have found thus far that I don't react to are the Atkins shakes. I am assuming that this is some sort of allergy reaction, but what could/would be a common denominator of both the whey and soy to make me do that?

    As a mom with a daughter who has been in anaphalatic shock about 30 times in the last 5 years. Started at 21 and we discovered all kinds of allergies to things she has eaten her whole life. STOP NOW!! DO NOT DRINK THEM!!!!!!!! The itchy throat is a sign of an allergy.. each time you drink them again you risk the chance of a full blown attack!! The worst not being able to breath,,, Anaphalatic shock. Each reaction can be worse then the last.. Apparently you are allergic to something in them.. If possible tell your Dr and see if you can go for allergy testing.. I ate all fruit and till the age of 14. Then it happened to me eating watermellon, apples,any other mellons,walnuts and pistachios.. I have stayed away from them until this past winter I ate a cookie unknown to me had walnuts in it. I did the benedryl thing and my husband rushed me to the hosp. A few more meds and a prescription for an EPI pen.. I was able to breath as the reaction wasn't a bad one, but it was the first walnut in over 30 years.. I'm not trying to scare you but I don't want anything to happen to you.. Look it all up on the computer under Anaphalatic shock.. Make sure you educate yourself. and I wish you the best of luck.. Let me know how you make out. Kathy
