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?

      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.
