I am thinking that something is really wrong about the protein drink. Every time I drink it I get really nauseated and woozy and I get a headache. I did some research and thought that it might be lactose intolerance or a whey protein allergy. I purchased some lactase and some gasX and this evening I took the lactase before I drank the drink and then took a gasX. About 10 minutes after I finsihed drinking, I was extremely nauseous and felt terrible. I sat really still and did a lot of deep breathing and it settled down after about 20 minutes. I walked around a little and belched several times and I feel MUCH better except for a burning stomach. I took a TUMS and I think that worked. If I am allergic to Whey protein what will I do? I know there are veggie type protein drinks out there but they don't have as many grams of proteins and I dread the taste. I am calling the doc first thing on Monday. Hopefully I can get some alternatives. But what to do tomorrow...I don't know if I can drink the protein drink knowing what will come after.:unsure:

I knew going into this that food choices might be a problem. I like what I like and if I don't like it my throat won't swallow it. If it happens to get by, I generally throw it right back up. :cursing:

I had quite an episode of diarrhea this morning. I got some benefiber even though it has a few carbs in it but I think the diarrhea:blushing: is also a symptom of my intolerance of the drink.

I lost another 2 pounds though. :mad: I might just be back to my pre summer weight by the time the REAL weight loss starts.

Hanging in there.

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I have never drank whey protein shakes. I have tried 2 kinds but had to force myself to drink them. I drink the Myoplex Lite Chocolate Fudge and enjoy them. They are 170 calories, 2 grams fat, 20 grams protein, 5 grams fiber, 4 grams sugar. I buy the ready to drink ones at Sam's. I know it is so hard to find one you like. I hated trying all different kinds. I am a baby about trying things. I hope you find something that works!

Make your own protein drink this way you know what is going in and you can add all the things you like. Or try these, Boost -High protein, Pure Protein, or the Drug Store brand of protein shake. Good luck to you..
