Allergic to Protien powders !! Need help!

I tried Whey and my throat closes a bit (I have this reaction to a lot of foods too) I tried Soy and my lips swelled a lot. I can't win. The Optifast shakes have no bad effects, but I need more protien. Anyone have any ideas what I can do? This is getting expensive.

    You could mix eggbeaters and/or yogurt into your Optifast to increase the protein count. Ground flaxseed has protein - I use 1-2 tsp in my drinks.

    I never managed more than 25-30 grams of protein per day during the liquids phase. Now that I'm on to mushies I've been managing 50-60 with the mushie food plus one Atkins shake.

    I'm thinking it will be easier once I get to solids - hope so!
