Does this have a aftertaste and causes indigestion? I just tried some six star flavorless whey and it was awful, mixed with milk and berries.....it wasn't even a full scoop and is can still taste it, I was just wondering if casein powders does the same as whey powders....before I try something else...

    Casein tends to be chalky and can form clumps in some concentrations which could cause indigestion.

    I'm OK with it but I know some people dislike it.

    Protein powders often contain a mix of whey and casein so of you don't like the chalkiness or get a stomach upset with casein, pick a variety that is low in casein.

    I personally like Trutein protein. It is a mix of whey, casein and egg whites. I mix mine with almond milk and it keeps me more full than a whey only powder.

    Have you tried Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard wheys? They are the only whey protein I can have. All the others taste awful.

    Second Optimum Gold Standard - those actually taste pretty good. I've never found a casein I could stomach.

    Trutein is my current favorite. I like the mix of different proteins and the shakes are thicker/creamier than whey shakes. Quest also makes a pretty decent mixed protein (whey/casein/milk protein isolate), as does Dymatize (their Elite Gourmet line).
