I'm wondering if there is a good protein powder that is NOT made of whey. Whey can give me stomach and gastro issues and I'm hoping to find another type. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    Whey protein tends to cause gastro issues if it's a cheaper form of whey, ie whey protein concentrate. Also, you will avoid all this if you purchase the Power Crunch Protein Bars by BNRG. They have hyrolyzed whey which means it is pre digested, so it's readily absorbed into the guy without gastric problems! Also MonaVie has the RVL Bars and Shakes which also contain Hydrolyzed whey.
    Truely the best.

    Thorne research Mediclear has pea and rice protein and vitamins. I can't do any type of dairy, so it's been a lifesaver for me.

    Casein or soy would be the other most widely available options. Rice, pea, hemp, and egg abulmen are other options.

    What brand of Whey have you tried?
    Sometimes the cheaper the whey the more problems you can have.
    Try Optimum Nutrition 100%. Trial and error.
    Better yet......Eat your protein!!!

    I love Sun Warrior Raw Vegan rice protein (but only the rice protein - to me their Warrior Blend line tastes salty though it doesn't have much sodium, it's just how my palate reads it). This protein doesn't have a lot of flavor to it, so I use DaVinci or Torani syrups or dark chocolate cocoa powder (which is good for you, low in calories and high in fiber).

    Vega Sport Performance Protein. Vegan. If that is important.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Maybe I should try a better quality whey. I have tried the generic brand from GNC in the past. I will also look into the other suggestions.
