Protein Powder Problem

Christine_72

I don't do well with straight up whey concentrate. But am fine with Isolate and casein.

I had the same issue couple years ago, I just got told to drink loads of water every day whilst taking it and it sorted my problem.

Whey seemed to upset my stomach too, so I've been using Naturade Pea Protein that I buy on Amazon. Don't worry- it doesn't taste like peas (I actually buy the vanilla flavor.)

I recommend trying a non-dairy protein - perhaps you are sensitive to dairy?

I really like Vega Protein and Greens, its pea protein, sacha inchi (mountain peanut) protein, hemp seed protein, sprouted whole grain brown rice protein.

I am a vegan so I tried soy protein powders for years but it jus never settled well with me. I now use a pumpkin seed protein powder. It's pretty tasteless so I am able to put it not just my smoothies but also in soups and pancake batter. No complaints so far. I use the "Omega Nutrition" brand. Here is a link that includes all the nutritional information too

The only one I can stomach is the Jarrow Unflavored Whey. It's really mild tasting and no "off" flavor, no sweeteners, no nothing, put it in a smoothie with some yogurt and fruit and it fluffs it up but doesn't really add taste.

The soy ones, any flavored ones, none of them worked for me, they caused nausea. This one doesn't.

It may be that you just can't handle heavy protein all at once, or that you have trouble with milk or soy or nuts or the flavors, like I did. There isn't any reason you can't be healthy eating food, just food, protein powders aren't a food group.

Could be the artificial sweeteners.

I switched to unflavored whey isolate a long time back. I have no issues with the flavored ones, or even the artificial sweeteners, but when I get a flavored protein powder I am limited to what I can do with that flavor. With unflavored I can add whatever flavors I want or use in when cooking without that specific flavor limitation.

I use a vegan, gluten free brand called VEGA..have had no issues with it, and I usually have stomach issues with everything.
