Anyone tried it? Whey Protein hurts my stomach.

This is what I'm looking at:

    I didn't like the taste at all. I tried different flavors. They all tasted gritty to me.

    I don't like hemp protein. I worked at a smoothie bar where we used whey, soy or rice. I prefer soy but if you're trying to limit how much soy you eat, rice is a good option too. I find there's no change in flavour (if you use them in smoothie. No idea what they'd like on their own). Hemp is really chalky to me. I can't quite describe it. Nutritionally, I don't think there's a huge difference between them. I think hemp might be lower in protein but I don't think it's by a huge margin.

    I do, however, love hemp hearts which are high in protein too (mine are 4tbsp=15g protein approx). I add them to smoothies or whatever else I'm eating.
