Safest protein shake?

[patience123]

I"ve tried protein shakes before (whey and eggs protein) and the ones I've tried all make my stomach go nuts. I was wondering if those who have this issues found a protein shake that works for them? I have no problem with rice protein, but that is good only if mixed into oats (it's soooo chalky).

bump for those that can help out here

Hi, I have a client who has some significant GI issues, and she had to always use rice protein. I believe she found one that doesn't upset her over at allthewhey.com

I can't quite remember which client it is or I'd check their files to make sure.

I'm using rice protein now, but it's sooo chalky and tasteless that the only way I can eat it is if I mix it in with grains or yogurt.

If I can't have dairy, do you think allthewhey would still be fine? I'm OK with yogurt, nut not any other dairy.

Have you tried straight up whey isolate?

Well, I&#39;m sure not all GI issues are the same. Darn, I wish I could remember which client it was. I think allthewhey has sample packets you can try

I&#39;ll have to see if I can figure out which client it is ...

No I haven&#39;t. I tried GNC whey and egg protein (don&#39;t remember the brand). They all made my stomach hurt.

Not surprised. Cheap concentrate.

Try the isolate over at trueprotein. You can make your own custom blend and pick the sweetner/flavor. You may do better with something with stevia if artificial sweetners bother your stomach as well.

Kristi,
Do you order from this company? I am in Canada - checked out their web site and it looks interesting - I like the idea of being able to have one bucket of protein and several different flavours; rather than a fridge full of different proteins and no room for my kids food ;)

I am hesitant to order though... unsure of their track record

I&#39;ve been very happy with trueprotein.com.

I second this&#33; This is the only protein powder my tummy has been able to tolerate. :)

This is what I use ..love this. The creamy vanilla is good as well as the lowcarb chocolate.My GNC carries it although it is more expensive to buy it there.
