Can one be allergic to shakes?



Recommended Posts

I have had it with any brand,type of protien shake. When I drink them, even slowly, I get super sweaty, shakes, chills , vomit and feel sick for several hours after drinking them. I get a headache and am severaly nauseous for most of the day. It does not matter what time of day I drink them either. Yesterday I was on te couch for several hours shaking with the chills. I keep trying them bc I know I need my 60 grams of protien a day. I'm calling dr. First thing Monday. Anyone eve heard of this ? I'm frustrated.

Hi! I have also struggled with the Protein products.The Optifast chicken Soup made me very ill.I saw my dietician today.He told me that anyone who is lactose or soy intolerant/allergic can get bad reactions to some of the Protein Bars and shakes.I have been given a special low carb diet of 'normal' food to use with various low soy (my problem is with soy) optifast and optislim food.Good luck - I hope your Doctor was as helpful as my dietician.

Check the common ingredients. Maybe there is something in them? Have you tried pure whey Protein Isolate with no mixers or added ingredients?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
