Allergic Reaction To Protein



Recommended Posts

I bought "Super Advanced whey Protein" from Wallmart and after two days of drinking shakes i noticed i bumps on my arms and my back. I stopped drinking it for a couple of days and they were fading away and again tried it one more time and broke out again. I've checked on the Unjury and Protein blitz website and I beleive it's made my WHEY, does anybody know another good brand that is NOT made by WHEY?

Thanks,

Rosario

Maybe soy Protein would work?

I would try another brand, because it may not be the whey but rather another ingredient entirely. If it happens again, see an allergist to make sure it is the whey.

Just fyi, the body can't process more than 20-25g of Protein per meal. So, anything more than that (like Protein shots) is overkill and a waste.

Best wishes

They also make egg Protein Powder, if the other two don't work. I would also recommend testing something else out because it could be just that the product you tried had too many fillers.

FYI I saw on Drugstore.com a Protein powder made with goats milk. Have not tried it so can't comment on the flavor.

I agree you could be allergic to that brand. whey is found in milk. If you can drink milk you are probably not allergic to whey. I am not a doctor just my thoughts.

I would go to Vitamin Shoppe or GNC and see if they will let you exchange Protein Powder if you have a problem with it. If so buy Protein powder from one of those places.

FYI not all Whey protein is the same. Isolate is a better type of whey protein for you (purer).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
