Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein - Strawberry, making me nauseous

[benyu]

i am not sure what is wrong with me but this is my 4th brand of protein and I am getting kweezy / nauseous after drinking 2 scoops (around 50g of protein) with this brand / flavour.



It has NEVER happened to me before with any previous high end brand in the past 3-4 years. Has anyone gotten this feeling before? I just lose my appetite and feel like puking my ass off when drinking it. I just need to rest and sit down with a small dose of migraine from the shake

sounds like you are lactose intolerant. go with an isolate

This or look into a completely non dairy option such as Vega Sport, or San Rawfusion.

All the previous brands I used was an isolate!


What is the difference? which ones are better?

Do you eat/drink any other dairy products?

I agree with Emergency it sounds like a lactose problem.

quick question, how can be lactose intolerant if I have zero issues drinking milk, eating ice cream and cheese (ANY dairy products i can eat fine and absorb?)

Just saw your post, been eating every dairy product since i was a baby fine.

Cheese is probably my favorite lmao

Not sure why but I have a similar issue with Vanilla proteins. I just avoid that flavor altogether.


Easy suggestion, take the product back to where ever it came from. If you bought it here on bb.com contact customer support, tell them whats going on and request another flavor. They are generally really good at handling issues like this.

Might just be something with whey protein you have an issue with if you were fine with isolates and dairy before. Isolates don't have as many additives, so if you know you didn't get any negative sides from an isolate, stick with isolates.

Never had a problem with ON products. Could have an intolerance to the red food coloring

would see what their return policy is and pick up the isolate.

The way it sounds an isolate isn't going to solve your problem. My suggestion is don't double scoop the protein, and drink a shake with a meal (or at least oatmeal or something) and report back. ON is Isolate-based meaning it's primarily isolate protein. It could also be a sweetener in there. I know Ace K or too much of a few others makes me feel like crap. Regardless of the product.

are you also slamming this within a few minutes of ending your workout? sometimes you need 10-15 minutes before you can actually eat/drink something like that.

single scoop is only 24g of protein though, my other brands i have tried had 40+ average per scoop (bigger size obviously)


i think ON gold is standard for 2 scoops per shake.

Drink two different shakes. Nothing wrong with 24g scoop. It's to meet your macros

Which proteins are you using that have 40+g per scoop?

You should also try meeting the majority of your protein macros by eating whole foods. Supplement the rest with the powder...and you don't have to take 2 scoops at a time...

[hellstorm2004]

I had it long ago. Made me nauseous because it was too effing sweet. 2 scoops is like chomping on 50 grams of sugar!
