Reactions To Whey And Soy Protien



Recommended Posts

I've had the band a week and have had constant diahrreah since. I've tried 2-3 types of whey Protein drinks, and now soy, and it still happens like clockwork, just a few minutes after I start drinking my shake. Is this normal? I'm mixing only with Water, so I don't know what else to do.

Help!!!!!

I had the same problem, I tried whey isolate and soy Protein and they both made me sick (bloating, gas) and was surprised that they both did this to me as I used to be able to do both when I was younger. I found some weight trainer websites and found that both cause people gas a lot of times, so this may your problem. I found that pea protein does not make me sick, but it's a taste to get used to, I tried sugar free syrups, but it didn't help the taste much, so this did not last long. But then I found Zoic at Big Lots and the flavors are good (don't care too much for Cookies and cream) and this does not make me sick. It is not whey isolate, but if you wanted to give it a try, you could always run this by your nutritionist, mine okay'd it for me since I had problems with the others.

Try hemp Protein Shakes. I had problems with soy and whey as well. Hemp was weird tasting but I got used to it. I also got an egg white Protein. Weird tasting and very frothy, but it worked well. Hopefully you don't have too much longer before you get to soft foods.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
