Stomach issues: For those, like me, who react very unpleasantly to the lactate component of whey, is there a way to offset the gastric effects by possibly taking a anti-lactose pill or something, just before drinking a Whey shake?

Anti-lactose is called lactase. It sure worked for me when i used it with milk.

Go to Standard Process and bring up the information that you are concerned with. I know for me I had gone to a chiropractor that is also a nutritionist and he recommended this for me since I had my gallbladder out. I wouldn't be without it now as I take one with every meal and no more gas, bloating or upset stomach. It is all natural and works!!

The other product that I took that had such a high level of probiotics was a powder in a foil packet that I was to be added to a liquid. I put it in smoothies and protein shakes. This is so strong that it should be with doctor's oversight. If I were to give it to a toddler I would use very little of it. But yes you could sprinkle it on the food. I think the high numbers of bacteria is one of the reasons so much actually gets through the stomach acid. However, I also try to take it in the late afternoon, so possibly less stomach acid to deal with and the stomach is not producing it for digestion of recent food intake. Those are my thoughts for what it's worth. The other product that I took that had such a high level of probiotics was a powder in a foil packet that I was to be added to a liquid.

No whey. I use it because it is lactose free. Excellent product. Great source of protein. Have it with Almond milk, p-butter and a banana every morning.

Have you thought that maybe you are lactose intolerant? The ingredients in this (all lactobacillus basically) are lactose. I am lactose intolerant and took this for the first time today and it really bothered me too! I took it with food and it was horrible, but I took it again on an empty stomach and it was better, maybe you can try that.

No, it's not lactose free. Most weight gainers won't be. If you are lactose intolerant I would suggest Muscle Milk. Despite its name is contains no milk.

I am a vegan. Make sure you have a little something in you stomach. Put the contents on some mashed banana or some type of food, if you can't tolerate the taste. Also know, it goes into your system more quickly. I no longer use it.

I think the answer is yes...this is normal for this particular product. It did not help my gastric reflux, which was the reason I used it..but it did cause me to have an overactive gut! So I know something was in it..but I really don't know what! I personally would not waste my money on this again.

I put about 10 drops in a large container, stirred it very well and left it to sit for a day or so, and didn't have any problems (and I'm normally very sensitive to lactose). It did not change the consistency of the yogurt, either.

Hi, thank you for your question. I have been drinking this Soy protein. I can give you my comments.1. No for body builder, 2. Yes for LACTOSE-INTOLERANT and 3. No for BULKING PHASE.If you want no. 1 & 3 yes, you may have to find whey protein from Soy or plants. Hope this helps.thanks

Hi, Lewka! After reviewing the label, it doesn't appear to lactose/gluten free. Your best bet would be to stick to a vegan powder like Garden of Life RAW Organic Meal replacement shake. It can be found here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Meal-Powder/dp/B0031JK95S#. I can't vouch for the taste, however, as I've never personally tried it, but it does have a 4 out of 5-star rating from over 3,400 total reviews. With a rating that solid, I'm seriously considering purchasing it myself the next time I run out of the Lean Shake. Hope this helps!

I am not 100% sure but I don't think so. I am lactose intolerance myself and when I mix it with lactaid milk, I have no problem.

Most whey proteins do contain some lactose, but usually less than what's in milk. Since you're extremely lactose intolerant, you may try this brand: http://www.amazon.com/Lactose-Free-Whey-Protein-Isolate/dp/B004R0QFXA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I am not sure what the lactose level is. I do know that as a child my daughter was lactose intolerant but she could tolerate whey protein.

Its A BOTTLE OF ASPIRIN. Just aspirin. Aspirin and other non steroidal can irritate the stomach (known side effect)

No idea. Sorry. But I'll tell you that my stomach usually gets bloated and gassy from milk and artificial sweeteners, but I was fine with this product. Kings Cupboard hot chocolate made me so sick
