I'm scheduled to be sleeved May 17 but am doing research now on different Protein supplements. I am dairy intolerant and have to follow a low FODMAP diet, meaning nothing with pea protein or xylitol sweetener or inulin (type of fiber). Of this whole procedure finding a good protein source is my biggest concern!

Pretty much every protein supplement I've seen out there has some type of whey in it and the vegetarian ones have something else I can't have. At this point until I can eat meat again I may just have to put up with the side effects of they whey powder (severe constipation) because that would be better than the other ones! Does anyone have any advice on supplements that don't have whey?

The kind I have is made from whey but is lactose free. It has soy lecithin in it. It uses sucralose and stevie as sweetners. I don't know about FODMAP diets, so not sure if those are against it. If those sound okay I can give you more info.

Also google says this one is whey free, but has sunflower lecithin.

I too am lactose intolerant, some whey isolates I have no problem with, while other make me sick as a dog. Max Muscle's gourmet protein I can handle. I have also been using the J.D. Robb's egg white protein, the chocolate is really good I just bought the vanilla this weekend.

You are right to look into this beforehand. I did not realize the degree of my food allergies and it has definitely made things challenging. Having a hard time finding Protein powders that are tolerable and at 2 mos post surgery getting the stink eye for not consuming enough protein.

I found Garden of Life protein powders to work for me. Organic, gluten free, dairy free soy free.

Good luck to you and let us know what you find
