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.

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.

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!

Yes it does. I tried lots of iron suppl. But this is the easiest on my stomach. I am lactose intolerant but it does not upset me. Good luck.

Hi! I am in natural healthcare and have used these shakes off and on for several years. This product is very low in calories, fat, and sugar, making it a good option for most diabetics to supplement their diet. It does have some fake sugars, which can affect the nerves, but most things low fat have some if not more. I don't know of a direct correlation to this and prostate cancer. It is loaded with nutrients, which gives the body more "fuel" to run. I use it with almond milk instead of cow's milk because the dairy slows my system. The shake mix has cassein in it (milk protein), but that doesn't bother me. I have read some research looking at the link between dairy and cancer, but that really addresses what you choose to mix the powder with instead of the shake ingredients. As with anything, I would start slow to see how my body responds and wouldn't overdo it. I have had clients use it as supplemental nutrition, as a meal replacement, and as a protein shake while working out. Most of them seemed happy with their results.

I would just do before first and last meal, i've takin it then didnt eat until hours later (forgot i took it) and it didnt upset my stomach or anything. I think just taking it before food is suppose to control your hunger later so I dont think it would matter when you took it.

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.

I have read that also. I was very careful to pick a product that did not contain calcium. After I read your comment, I looked on the bottle again. I was unable to find calcium any where. Mine is the same as shown.I haven't had much luck with it. In the comment section, it helps some people and not others. One comment said to be sure and take it on an enpty stomach, at least one half hour before eating. I'll make sure that's how I take it, from now on. So far and I've taken quite a few, all it does is make me ravenous.

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.

I agree with you Cherry's wife. Shakes aren't better than "real" food, I think it's about the why you're using the shakes that matters. For myself, I do not get enough protein plus I need the probiotics that this powder has. I'm sensitive to dairy and red meat so the addition of this shake to my day really helps with my energy levels. I'm also prone to gut and digestive issues. Since using this shake, my stomach problems have been occurring less. Protein shakes won't work for everyone for a variety of reasons all of which specific for each person. For me, this shake gives me what I need to combat my digestive issues at a cheaper cost than the probiotic pills alone. I agree with you Cherry's wife.

Hmmmm, not sure, but I am lactose intolerant and this didn't bother my stomach at all, in fact it really helped me!

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.

I don't know anything about bodybuilding or what Bulking Phase is. It is a lactose free product. I know that much.

I usually take it before I eat and before I workout. I have a very sensitive stomach and it hasn't bothered me at all:-)

Sorry, I don't know. I had to get rid of it as it made me very sick. I think it was because of the lactose in it but I don't have it anymore to look at the label for you.

Well, I really don't know. But try to disolve it in natural juices full of fibers, to avoid irritating your stomach. Always take these pills with food. Always! Regards,

Yep. Your body just doesn't process it as quickly as whey, so use it to just get your overall protein intake up. You don't need to drink it right after working out. I sometimes drink one scoop mixed with two cups almond milk before bed if I haven't had enough protein during the day. It mixes a much thicker shake than whey protein.
