Casein Protein + Diarrhea

[1motivatedguy]

Hey guys. I have a problem right now, I'll try to be as detailed as possible.

I took a single serving (1 heaping scoop) of ON Casein Protein.

a few hours ago with 10oz of fat free milk. Within these past few hours, I've been having quick spouts of diarrhea. Just quick, liquid diarrhea without any pain.

I intended to go to sleep after taking the casein protein, but I had to do a lot of work on the computer (that's why I was up these past few hours). I know that you have to take casein protein IMMEDIATELY before you go to sleep.

Am I having diarrhea because I'm awake while the casein protein digested? I've taken casein protein with water during the entire week before going to sleep, and I wouldn't have diarrhea.

Also, are there protein isolates for people that are lactose intolerant? I know that whey is from milk, but I haven't had a bad experience with the regular ON Whey Protein.

Is casein protein+milk (it was fat free)=diarrhea?

Sorry if the grammar is bad, its late and I need to wake up early to go to work.

That is a misconception, you can take protein or in this case casein whenever you want as long as you fulfill your protein requirement for the day.

You pretty much narrowed down your problem to the milk, try it again tomorrow and see if it happens again. If it does then yes you are probably lactose intolerant to a certain degree and yes there are protein isolates for people that are lactose intolerant such as Gaspari Intrapro or Allmax Isoflex.

Are you sure its the protein? Im having the exact same grief with Purple Wraath. Its a joke, I cant leave the house!

Thanks both of you guys for responding.

I was going to post a reply to both of your advice; however, my computer crashed. You both know how much it sucks when you type down a few things, just to lose all of your work.

The problem was the milk. I rarely drink milk, but I knew that I was slightly lactose intolerant. I believed that whole fat milk gave me diarrhea, so I thought that I could add fat free milk to my casein protein shake (and add some extra calories to make it a meal replacement) without having any diarrhea. It worked before with a different brand of milk from Food 4 Less. However, this milk was from the 99 cent store (no, it wasn't expired).

I think I"ll just mix my protein shakes with water, and have the extra calories from whole foods.

I don't know how to close a thread, so I'll just announce this. This thread is now closed.
