    Question If I'm Lactose Intolerant Can I Benefit From Whey Protein

    I heard that whey protein is 75% lactose
    I also heard that since I'm lactose intolerant I don't digest lactose based products
    I've been taking whey protein for a while now with no noticeable problems
    Am I just urinating out all of the protein though?

    You think that protein isn't protein but rather 75% carbs???

    On, you're red. Now I understand. Please carry on with your trolling and have a nice day.

    oh dear where to start

    1. firstly most wheys are very low in lactose and read this to find out why why is made ehow.com/how-does_4913560_how-whey-protein-made.html

    2. that should be a sign

    3. there is little to no protein in urine

    Well I know that my protein powder isn't 100% amino acids, I figured some of the other constituents could be in the form of sugar or lactose

    Yes I am on red, I don't think anybody has rated me before though, and if they rated me negative then that probably says more about them then it does about me.

    Oh okay so during the ion exchange process the whey is separated from the lactose, makes sense.
    Well I'm glad to hear that I'm not wasting all that precious protein

    There are some labeled lactose free like Dymatize ISO-100. All you have to do is google.com "lactose free protein"

    I already have a year supply of protein which I love, I was just wondering if I was getting any benefit from the whey I've been consuming for a while now and will continue to use.

    First off all, it's called whey protein and not whey carbohydrates or whey lactose for a reason, it's just protein. Although it is very hard to (and also damages the protein) to completely isolate it, therefore there will always be a small amount of compounds remaining from the pure whey, like calcium, lactose and fat. Whey protein is sold as either concentrate or isolate, concentrate has the "lowest" concentration of protein, with about 75-80% protein, and about 1-2% lactose. Isolate has the highest protein concentration with 85-90% protein and 0-1% lactose. I don't know where you herd, or why you believed, whey PROTEIN was 75% carbs/lactose, but it is a lie.

    If you are lactose intollerant, you normally can not digest lactose containing products, altough you might only be partly lactose intollerant, which means that you can digest some lactose, but have a limit for how much your body can tollerate before it is unable to digest it.

    If you are taking whey protein now and don't have any problems, I don't understand your concern or the purpose of the thread.

    To be perfectly honest I don't know if protein is excereted in the urine, and I really don't care, neither should you, what the hell does it matter? Protein goes in to your body, in to your blood, in to your muscles and organs, and then out trough your sweat, urine, feces, spit, snot, !?!?!?!?!?, who cares.

    Quick question. I heard that table sugar is 75% protein. Is this true?

    It's also 24% trans fats.
    OP: since you're lactose intolerant, you'd have some pretty bad bloating/diarrhea/indigestion from that whey if it did have a significant amount of lactose in it.

    I do incorporate those into my diet, however I am glad to hear that since I don't experience problems then I can tolerate the 2% lactose in my whey

    The difference you're looking for here is between whey concentrates vs. whey isolates

    Whey concentrates typically have more lactose - however they do confer other benefits

    Whey isolates (they will say Isolate on the bottle) - have typically had the majority (99%) of the lactose removed. This should be your best bet here.
