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.

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!

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

There are two different Muscle Feast unflavored whey isolates. I've had both the 26g and 24g. I pick up the former if it's in stock and the latter if not. They both taste the same and haven't affected my lactose intolerance.

Not sure I understand the question. Does it work fast? I take it 1/2 hr. before I eat at breakfast and dinner. I never had an upset stomach. It's not a miracle "cure" for being overweight. You still have to watch what you eat but it helps curb my appetite so I continue to take it. If you think you can take it and eat a large pizza and a beer then no, it won't work.

I have been using their antibiotic for Lactose Intolerance for years and love it (I dislike Lactaid brand vs. this brand). This product I didn't purchase for myself but it does help someone I know with IBS.

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.

Hi Scott, I am not qualified to recommend how anyone else uses this supplement. I know a cancer survivor who used it for a while. I use it daily and plan to do so until I don't feel I need it. I researched it made my own decision. I tapered up until I felt my system was getting enough. Diarrhea is how some people determine they have enough. I feel that it is very helpful to me. I do take it on an empty stomach. No issues with long-term use that I have read about. Best wishes, Lynne

I'm not sure if that is true, but I really like using it in my smoothie in the morning. My lactose intolerance stops me from being able to use the whey protein and this one isn't gritty and blends well. Enjoy!

I have added it to my yogurt smoothies with success. I am super lactose intolerant and can not seem to tolerate any dairy unless it has been treated first. I stirred in about 10 drop (a large container size) and waited a couple days before using it. I had to stir it a few times a day too because it is a lot thicker than say milk or cream.

Everyone - this is what I want to know and I will be contacting the company to find out. I want to know what is NOT on the label nor on their website nor could the guy at Whole Foods give a definitive answer (he's waiting to hear back from me on this) when he spoke to the company.If they source from cows that are injected with rBST - I want nothing to do with it. It's important. Why would I drink what I won't eat in my beef?If anyone has heard from the company on this, I think all of us should know.

I would check with your physician first, but don't see any inherent reason why this should be a problem for under 10. It is a milk product; I am mildly lactose intolerant, but have not had any problem with this product, and I take 1 scoop twice daily. Capsules would probably be easier for a child to swallow than the powder, which is not meant to be dissolved. It is supposed to pass trough the stomach and into the intestines to work, and that is why it works best on an empty stomach with a full glass of water to flush it through.

I bought this "miracle whey protein" but found it high calorie, tastes bad and also is not considered a "meal" replacement which I was looking for. Not sure why Dr. Oz is not recommending it. Hope that helps.

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.

This supplement is great, yet expensive! Which is the reason I no longer use it. Unfortunately, I forget if its lactose free. Although, if you Google it you should have no problem finding your answer. Also, if you go onto Beach body website they have a live chat where a representative will answer your question quickly! I hope this helps you and good luck!

That's the awesome thing about this... It's a powder. I mix it in my protein shake. Don't even taste it :). Went with this because I hate the pills too.
