Casein allergy- protein powder recommendations??

[AP81]

Hi guys,

In the past few months I have developed an allergy to casein. When I drink/eat milk products I get bad acid reflux & stomach cramps. I've tried lactose free milk and I still get these symptoms- so I can only put it down to casein.

I've started taking 100% egg white protein- which does the drink, but I am bored of it and it doesn't taste too pleasant. I tried soy protein isolate and I don't really like it (plus it is is high in phytoestrogens). I also tried Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard which still makes me ill.

So my question is- is there quality product that tastes good and doesn't contain casein?... I guess that pretty much rules out all whey proteins.

I've also been looking at Vital Strength Total Protein which is a combination of WPI, SPI and egg albumen. I am hoping that WPI content is low enough not to upset my stomach.

Any ideas or advice?

Thanks for the advice. I might give the ON egg protein ago. Not available in Australia, but I'm sure someone will be able to order it in for me.

Cheers.

If you want a slow release that's lactose free: Micellar Casein
If you want a moderate protein that's lactose free: Whey Protein Isolate
If you want a fast protein that's lactose free: Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate

They are all more expensive than their lactose counter parts, calcium caseinate, whey protein concentrate etc. But if you have stomach problems, I recommend these.

why are you recommending casein when he has a casein allergy, which was stated in the title?

Because it can still be lactose. It depends on the form of casein. Not all caseins are alike. It is highly likely he is consuming the cheapest, most lactose laden form.
