does any one else here get nasious after drinking a whey protein.

not nasious like i need to throw up but like i feel like i wanna lay down
 
Yeah, sometimes if I haven't had time to eat and I drink a lot of whey protein on an empty stomach, I do get some nausia. I usually eat something solid when that happens and it goes away. If you still have problems, there is a product called Meclizine HCI that you can buy at the drug store that takes care of nausia better than any over the counter drug. No prescription needed, but you have to ask the pharmacist for it becasue it's sold behind the counter. Believe it or not, the pharmacy at K-Mart sells it cheaper that a chain like CVS or Wallgreens does.

For what it's worth, I've tried HDT (bad taste, hard to mix), Body Fortress (great taste, only 19g protein a serving) and ON Whey (great taste, very easy to mix), and the ON Chocolate whey is the only one that I've gotten any nausia from. I'm going with All The Whey next time.

well i have bee eating protein factories bars and with no problem. im gonna have to give their another shot and onl2 scoops instead of three from now on.
 
What type of protein are you drinking?

Some people get very bloated on Whey Protein Concentrate, so they have to use Whey Protein Isolate. It is more expensive, but you won't bloat on it and it is easier on your digestive system.
 
im using body fortress whey pro power and it gives me the shits bad.... either that or its the test e giving me the shits :/
 
^^ya, the body fortress is good but it is a "cheaper" brand so that's probably why. I've used it and was fine but I'm not lactose intol and have an iron stomach. :)
 
doesn't soy protein possibly increase phyto-estrogen levels in men?? I thought I read that somewhere so I've tried to stay away from soy.
 
Try mixing your powder with a different liquid. I used to get the lethargic feeling when i mixed it with milk, and then I switched to water; tastes like shit but I dont feel tired and it even goes down a bit easier. or if you are using a vanilla flavor, go with Orange Gatorade...
 
I am will to bet you are a little lactose intolerent.... try something like musclemilk or something free of lactose
 
if you have problems with it stop it! there is nothing that says you cant grow without protein powder. they are convenient but that the only real benefit of them.
