protein shakes and headaches

Gavery1

My husband and I have been using natures garden Soya protein isolate shake for the last 5 days and have both suddenly been getting fuzzy eyes and headaches. I have one a day and he has two. Should we be drinking a lot more water whilst using shakes or could it be something in the shake itself?

I have read that most protein powder contains MSG as a by-product of the processing methods they use. Headaches are a common symptom of MSG consumption, so that may be the reason.

Is it flavored? It might contain those crappy artificial sweeteners. I get migraines from those sweeteners.

Edit: make sure you read this article too, if it was me, I would dump it.
