Lactose Free Protein Drinks?



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I'm trying to find a Protein Drink that is lactose free. I've tried some Protein drinks including some that claim to be OK for lactose intolerant people and no such luck. My nutritionist had originally suggested Boost Glucose Control but I didn't tolerate it well. Then I tried Ensure Plus and had the same results. I need to find something my body can tolerate and hopefully taste okay too. Any suggestions?

Divis :help:

Try light Silk Soymilk with a scoop of Syntrax Nectar Protein. The milk comes in choc and vanilla and the nectar comes in a variety of flavors. I get mine from the Vitamin Shoppe. The nectar can be made with Water as well. Good luck :)

I'm lactose intolerant and Bariatric Advantage Protein Powder is lactose free. They taste good if you mix the powder with some lactaid or soy milk, not just Water. They are real thick. I liked the banana flavor best, vanilla second and chocolate last; stay away from the strawberry it tastes like pepto bismol. They are a very nutritious, good quality product that you can order online.

Generally, whey Protein isolate is lactose free, but is more expensive that non-isolate which is why they are usually blended, but 100% whey isolate drinks do exist if you look for them. Check the usual suspects like Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.< /p>

I like the Jay Robb Protein Drinks. I don't like the egg white Protein but the whey protein is pretty good. Now if I could find a local place that stocks it!

This is what my nutritionist suggested. "Isolate" is the key word. I bought Vanilla Isopure whey Protein isolate at GNC. They have different brands available and you can return it if it doesn't work for you. (I blend with Torani syrups or a banana). I am pre-op though.

The Isopure premixed bottles work as well and taste like "juice" rather than milk.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
