No whey? No problem
In the midst of rising healthy lifestyle trend in 2015, we decided to join the wave. To get stronger we knew one thing, we needed to increase our protein daily intake. With tight schedule, it was impossible to do the meal prep. So our friend recommended us to whey protein, which was such a great suggestion. Unfortunately, we found out that we’re lactose intolerant, after a week we took the whey protein. We had upset stomach, and acne!!!.
At this point, have you ever experienced
How often do you feel gassy and bloated?
How often do you suffer from flatulence?
How often do you have a stuffy nose?
How often do you feel excess mucous production in your head and throat?
if the answer is Yes, Welcome to the club you might be
lactose intolerant
protein intolerant
the lactose intolerance,
In certain individuals (those without enough lactase enzyme activity), undigested lactose passes through the stomach into the intestines where it must be fermented. Through this process, lots of gas is formed, causing stomach cramps, bloating, flatulence, and diarrheas.
Milk Protein Allergy/Intolerance
In addition to the above, symptoms can be a result of milk protein allergy/intolerance. While casein protein has been implicated in more cases of milk protein problems than whey, both milk proteins can cause similar issues. This is due to the fact that in some individuals, casein and whey can cause an excessive inflammatory immune response. This leads to mucous production. And high mucous means blocked airways, stuffy noses, and thick throats.
