Allergic to protein supplements

[Majack73 13]

Disclaimer: I was called a "walking allergic reaction" by my allergist.

My nickname is "bubblegirl"

I have never been able to eat Protein Bars, they tingle my mouth/throat...I attirbuted it to food sensitivities..

Been sampling Protein Drinks and have had an array of symptoms from tingly mouth to gastric upset.

Ordered sample packet of fruit flavored Protein drinks and OMG...the ocean opened up, nausea, vomiting diarrhea....tingling lips, tongue etc...

whey protein isolate... not lactose intolerant.

Anyone else have this experience?

You may want to work with your Dr./Allergist on your allergy issues with protein supplements. Getting medical advice in a forum is not a great idea.

Please read the post before commenting.. I am not asking for medical.advice from a forum. And as my post would disclose, I already have an allergist. What I asked is if anyone else had the same experience or anything similar and what worked for them.

Yes! My first few weeks I was fine on whey, and I was getting most of my protein from shakes with whey protein as the main ingredient. Then I started getting extreme nausea about 1 hr or so after ingesting whey. Whey from shakes, protein bars, protein Water.

I started looking for non whey alternatives. I tried some vegan shakes, powders and bars, but could not tolerate the taste. What I have found that works is Muscle Milk Pro & Medifast Soups, bars and powdered shakes. There are some other non whey premade Shakes that I can also handle, EAS Advant Edge Carb Control, Slim Fast & Lean Shakes, but they aren't as protein dense, and taste worse then the Muscle Milk.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your help. You gave me a great starting point.

I'm wondering if that's why I've been breaking out and having an itchy throat!
