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.

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!

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,

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!

As we get older our digestive tracks don't digest our food very well, this can cause stomach bloat and a lot of gas. Emzymes make our food digest just like we were teens again. All this product is, is emzymes no more no less, just like in your stomach! I can eat any thing again as long as I take this suppliment,without fear of gas! Yeah!!

Most whey proteins do contain some lactose, but usually less than what's in milk. Since you're extremely lactose intolerant, you may try this brand: http://www.amazon.com/Lactose-Free-Whey-Protein-Isolate/dp/B004R0QFXA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

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 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.

To the best of my knowledge. I have stopped using the Hunger Smart because they tend to upset my stomach. Boost Calorie Smart and Glucose control definitely are lactose free.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
