Stomach issues This isn't related to this whey product, just whey protein in general.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?I have a big bag of Whey from a large warehouse chain, and I'd hate to waste the almost entire bag-full still left.

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

I use it as a breakfast shake w/fruit and greek yogurt. It has both Whey Protein (a fast burning protein) and Casein (a slow burning protein). I use a Whey only protein in the afternoon after workouts. Becuase of Casein's slow burning properties, it helps to keep my hunger at bay. Also Casein is a thick protein. It's normally it's used at night before bed because it takes so long to digest. The thickness helps the shakes not be so watery. On a side note, casein does contain amino acids which promote body mass. This could be a good thing or bad thing depending on your fitness goals.

It absolutely DOES NOT have the creatine in it like the regular Body Fortress Whey Protein has. This fact is why I do not buy the straight "Whey Protein", and instead purchase the Whey Isolate Protein. The creatine in the other makes me feel jittery.

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

It is a little known fact that digestive enzymes that include Protease will eat the good bacteria in Probiotics that you are buying!! So this company uses 2 other ingredients in their supplement to help break down protein but it is not the specific enzyme Protease that will feed on your expensive probiotic pills - fermented foods etc..... also people that suffer from heartburn and are trying to naturally relieve it through better gut health should know that protease irratate a comprimised stomach lining and can inhibit the healing process needed to recover from gerd and heartburn. I have not found another digestive enzyme that does not have Protease..that is why I recommend it!!

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

Either work very well. I'm lactose intolerant so I use unsweetened almond milk however the low cal juice is also great. I add a banana and yogurt or frozen fruit for a filling and tasty shake!

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

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 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.

They have a new option where you can get it in Whey. I ordered the soy version (even though the image said Whey) it still came to me correctly.

I believe you refer to the "flush" people often receive from products such as niacin. This product does not make me react in any way, whether with or without a full stomach. Who knows, every one is different and some may suffer from a flush, some may not.

I don't remember that but I was not zble to come up with a plan that I could get that stuff in my stomach! I even checked out putting it in gelatin capsules myself!. Yuck! Then folks wondered if taking this (if you could ) was really beneficial. Good luck!

As other reviewers have already posted, this is magnesium oxide, the hardest to digest for some. I've taken it and haven't had any stomach problems, but it can cause nausea for some. Having had Roux-N-Y, must be careful of the stomach. My doctor recommends a protein-bound source such as Magnesium Malate or Glycinate as being the best, but to take at least Magnesium Citrate for higher digestability.

There were no adverse effects however I had no reduction in glucose counts from drinking the milk. I do not reccomend it because no benefits in using a product that may or may not cause adverse effects over time is a risk not worth taking. This is not to say the product doesn't work, it just didn't work for me.

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.

If it has lactose, it's such a small amount that it probably won't bother you. I'm lactose intolerant, but I could mix this up with almond milk and have no problems or indigestion whatsoever. I was pretty relieved to find a protein powder that was digestible for me.
