Tired of feeling BLOATED after a protein shake? You're in luck…
I am mildy lactose intolerant. Regular whey protein (ON Gold Standard Whey) gives me terrible Bloating all day long. It's very uncomfortable and takes a while to get the gas out. I also get gassy and bloated (but doesn't take long to gas out as whey) when I eat stuff that has heavy cream or mac n cheese. Some stuff will make me go to the bathroom bad. Just to give you an idea of my intolerance. I don't have any problems with this whey protein at all!! No longer do I have to choose between being bloated all day vs terrible chalky plant protein. This one does cost more than regular whey, but it is still cheaper than the fancier plant protein ones that aren't a terror to drink. It's worth the extra money to me, for the most part.. If you don't understand, this costs more because they filtered out the lactose. This is typically known as just whey isolate, but they hydrolyzed it to add more to the cost and take out more lactose and more. I wish they sold the larger version of the plain iso100, as it should in theory cost less since not hydrolyzed. I had not bloat problems with that one either, but the 5 lb hydrolyzed tub is cheaper than the 3 lb regular tub.. hydrolyzed protein is really only necessary for like pro athletes who need to be fine tuned as there's millions of dollars on the line. Taste is good, but not excellent. It is a bit too sweet, but I guess that's the American way. The regular iso100 is the best flavor for chocolate. The hydrolyzed version is sweeter, which is strange because this model should be marketed to athletes and those who are less likely to have sweets. I'm going to try some other flavors than chocolate. Hoping peanut butter chocolate is less sweet due to the peanut butter. The gourmet chocolate isn't that far off from drinking a liquid twix bar
