Anybody here is allergic to whey-protein and milk?

[juancarloscruz2005]

Anybody here is allergic to milk, and whey-protein powders? Hello all, i would like to know if anybody here has water-retention problems, like bloating, puffiness, facial edema, headaches and adverse reactions from drinking milk and whey-protein which is made from milk? I ask this because even though i am not totally allergic to it, i think i have developed over the years a sort of intolerance to milk. I mean i still drink milk, but if i drink more than 16 oz. of milk a day, i would get a bloating feeling, facial-edema and my face would get swolloen, u know the swollen-face trait.

I am also a little bit intolerant and allergic to other types of foods like starches, even the starch in carrots would make me bloated. If i eat more than a certain amount of food portions coming from starchy foods like breads, potatoes, or rice, i would get real bloated, and feel totally bad.

I have to point out that i have a slow metabolism, because i suffer from hypothyroidism

I would like any comments on this

You're either allergic to milk protein or you're lactose intolerant.

You're either allergic to milk protein or you're lactose intolerant.

x2...if you're lactose intolerant you may want to try a lactose free powder and see if it changes your reaction

Hello everybody, thanx a lot for your comments on milk intolerance. Well you see i don't have any real bad dangerous adverse reactions from drinking milk like some people out there who when they drink even half a glass of milk get rashes, depression, diahrrea and so on. However if i drink more than 2 glasses a day, i would feel water retention all over my body, bloating, puffiness, which is a real block to bodybuilding and good appearance. I will see if i can buy a lactose free protein

thanx a gain

You don't have to go into anaphylactic shock in order to be allergic to milk protein or be lactose intolerant.
