Dairy allergy....how to get protein?

[Dk370 0]

Hi y'all!

I'm struggling with getting even a full 30mg of Protein in because I can't have any dairy.

I'm paying a big price extreme Hair loss, muscle loss, weakness...

Does anyone have a similar experience and/or some advice?

Thanks much!!!

How far out are you and at what food stage? There should be alternatives you can have. There's Protein Drinks like Isopure or Unjury. You can add Protein Powder to foods. There's Bone Broth, etc. Have you talked to your Nutritionist about what you can eat?

I am drinking an AdvantEdge shake by EAS now an I don't see dairy on the label. I may be missing something but over the years I have had many different protien powders that I mixed with Water instead of milk. You nutritionist should have examples of what to use. If not, go to a nutrition store and talk to them. And, like already suggested unjur has options.

I checked my packets of unjury Protein shakes and they listed milk as an ingredient. I think Orgain makes a dairy-free Protein shake. (I have a friend who also avoids dairy and I'm pretty sure she mentioned these as dairy-free.) I don't know about their sugar/carb content though.

You could try a pea Protein powder.. the one i tried was pretty gross... but there might be other better ones where you are... there wasn't much variety where i brought it from.

How far out are you?

I am 3 months and i try not to get alot my Protein from dairy.. i try other sources (i'm a big believer in too much of one thing is not a good thing)

I think pea Protein tastes so bad!

I'm already 10 months out and 20 pounds under my goal weight.

I developed all these health problems about 6 months in.

I'm not getting in even 1/2 of the protein I need.

I use hemp protein, but it needs additions to have tolerable taste and only has 12gr of protein.

I'm still having a hard time getting much in and the dairy soy restrictions are mega complicators...

[NeedaBreak4Me 1,755]

Yeah.. it does taste horrible lol.. i threw mine out.

You are 10 months out and only managing 30g of Protein a day? That seems unusual to me.

What are you typically eating? Are you having a balanced diet? What health issues are you facing besides the milk allergy

[higher 966]

Muscle milk has a nondairy premade shake.

25 g and Protein and 0 sugars.

I bought the chocolate one the other day, it wasn't bad at all.

Hi Dk370,

I am big time struggling with the same thing. But I am about to have yogurt even though I can not have milk, lactaid, fairlife, soy or almond milk. My dietitian for the program tells me to keep try different Protein shakes. She mentioned Isopure or take the shakes with Water.

Atkins now has a Protein Water. It has 21 grams per bottle. I wasn't a huge fan of it but my mom loves it. It all depends on the person.

Hope this helps some

If you are 10 months out, all you need to do is increase your food Proteins. Fish, meats, Beans, etc. I despise milk and won't drink it anyway. I would think fish would be the best lean Proteins. I am only 2 months out and can only eat maybe 3 oz of food at each meal, if that, and get plenty of Protein each day without supplementing with Protein shakes. I only eat 0.5 of a Protein Bar a day, and sometimes I forget that.

Right, I can only eat 2-3 oz and I still get enough protein from food alone. It's all about the choices of food.

I am allergic to cow's milk and whey.

I have tried plain pea Protein, without much success. The flavor was so strong I could barely choke it down.

I like Orgain and Vega Proteins. I've tried the chocolate and the vanilla of both brands. costco sells chocolate Orgain and vanilla Vega. The vanilla is plus greens. Has a very vanilla flavor and also has a slight "plant" taste when just mixed with Water. When I blend with strawberries I can't even taste the "plus greens."
