    I am glad I found this thread. I have decided to significantly up my protein intake, and so I started my day with Protein Powder pancakes (Protein pdr with egg, egg whites, vanilla extract), which I made with Kaizen whey protein powder. Tasty, but now I am suffering with gut issues. I checked the label on the protein powder, and it said not to use if allergic to milk. :'( I did not think I was allergic to milk, but maybe I am.

    Now the research begins. And any further suggestions are most welcome.

    Thanks for starting this thread, Comptoneelizabeth !

    I have the same problem and believe rapid absorption is the problem so I add my powder to a Smoothie instead.

    Definitely try whey protein isolate - I've switched to that and now have very few problems :smile:

    Edit : at first I thought it was still causing problems but think it just took my gut a while to calm down. No problems now.

    Thanks for posting that link. Very good reading. Especially the specific effects on physiological function findings at the end.
