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.

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.

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

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!

YES!!! I was casually taking that much and more and just yesterday I went through the most horrible side effects, so that I can no longer take it all. It can cause lactic acidosis, which you can look up, and terrible stomach pains. It was working great for me, but then yesterday I thought I was going to die. Be very cautious!

The instructions don't say so. I take it first thing in the morning with a protein shake and a few other supps with no stomach issues.

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.

Please tell me how I can do it? I just start with lactaid and add some yogurt? I dont know why this is such a hard thing to find on the internet. Do I need to add sugar if I dont want it sweet? Thanks

I can only say that it has worked for me. I found out that I was gluten-sensitive and a little lactose-intolerant several years ago and switched to this product. It's a good product at a great price! If you find it doesn't work for you, try ON soy protein. It is more expensive, but I always got good service out of there products. I'm not competing, so I'm not as concerned about some of the things that you might be. Good luck!

Organic cane juice sugar, Stevia, bamboo fiber, pea fiber, flax seed powder, and apple fiber.... I had to quit using as I figured out it was causing serious stomach irritation. Cleared up within 2 days of stopping... It irritated my stomach which is sensitive... Thought at first was the roughage diet I was on with it... Nope was the shakes... Went through 3 46 oz jars before I found out!

Obviously I'm not a doctor, but this supplement didn't cause the same upset stomach issues that a lot of other supplements have caused for me (and this one is really high with elemental iron). I take it in the morning with a glass of juice that's high in vitamin C (if I have any), but the supplement has vitamin C in it already so that isn't really necessary for me to do. I generally eat breakfast around the same time I take it. I love this supplement- no upset stomach and it really helped my iron levels.

For gastroparesis which is slow emptying of the stomach, Dr. Andrew Weil consulted another dr. and he said to take Swedish bitters ( no brand mentioned ),1T. before meals. I don't know if you are taking it for that but it is my hope that this will be of some help to you. If you do have gastroparesis there are several suggestions on Dr. Weil's website. Hang in there, sometimes our regular drs. here don't have the answers. Alternative medicine often does. Blessings and GREAT health to you!

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!

I eat normally while taking this. You just need to take it with food to avoid stomach upset.

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 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.

The past couple of years I have needed to eat a piece of toast with my multivitamin but I don't have any stomach troubles taking this pill with or without food. Hope thus helps.
