Protein Problem Woes

So protein powder is a great tool to hit your protein goals and keep you satisfied. This we all know. BUT every whey protein out there really bothers my stomach. Basically feeling like I have liquid concrete in there and anyone near me suffers my stomachs wrath. I know of hemp but it seems pricey with very few flavor choices. Anyone have any good suggestions?

    I cannot eat the whey either. Rice powder works.

    vitacost sometimes has different kinds of protein powders on sale, but they charge shipping. When I used to use them I would order through there.
    There's soy powders as well (I used to do genisoy - 14g not as much as whey tho) as the ones mentioned above and mixes of soy/pea (spirutein) too.

    There is
    - Whey
    - Soya
    - Pea
    - Rice
    - Hemp
    - mixed ones

    Whey normally dissolves best. Soya is my choice as I am lactose intolerant.
    Pea protein for me is the most terrible tasting one.
    Rice is ok-ish.
    Hemp never tried as not too much Protein compared to Whey or Soya.
    I now found a lactose free Whey one. Love it too.

    I had issues with whey, but not really with the casein based protein powders when I used such.
    I get all my protein from non protein powder food these days, however.

    Have you tried whey isolate protein? Whey concentrate (your standard whey protein powder) has most lactose and milk fat filtered out, but whey isolate has even more filtered out (leaving on average .5% lactose and milk fat left) thus being more lactose intolerant "friendly".
