sensitivity to whey

[grifter]

Wondering if anyone knows an alternative to whey protein. My wife has a sensitivity to whey products. She has been using whey products for years, but has been told her system has a hard time absorbing it.
She has also been told no milk, eggs, soft cheese, but can have cottage cheese?
If I'm not mistaken she can't use soy protein either.

Thanks in advance

Has she tried Hemp protein or brown rice protein?

Before she tries those I would suggest she tries a good isolate if she hasn't already.

There are White egg, gemma pea, rice protein, Beef Isolate.

Has she tried a 100% whey Isolate...not a blend.
sounds like she is lactose intolerant...100% whey has the lactose removed.

usually with whey its a lactose issue.. a Whey Isolate (bearing its totally legit) is almost lactose free... there will always be a trickle in there....

usually people allergic to milk, its the casein... so yeah like other said avoid a blend....

How about meat? I know true protein has a beef protien isolate.

Am I reading this right, you're saying she can have cottage cheese?

I've struggled with lactose intolerance my entire life. It was worst when I was a pre-teenager... I would even vomit occasionally. Recently, I decided to do something about it without pills, doctors, or bullshit.

Excluding Micellar Casein and Whey Isolate, cottage cheese was my first step in self-treating my lactose intolerance. It does have lactose, but it's much easier to stomach than a glass of milk. I started small and worked my way up. It took me three weeks of eating cottage cheese every day constantly before I could advance to regular cheese, milk, and yogurt. By the time I moved "up" the lactose ladder, I was packing in more than two pounds a day. I had my first cup of regular milk in my entire life last week @ age 20.

That's really interesting Aaron, I never would have guessed that you could eat cottage cheese if you were lactose intollerant. Thanks for the info, and congratulations on conquering it on your own.

Thanks for all the replies.

My wife went for a food specific IgG antibody assessment conducted by a local gym in Toronto that we get ART and masages from. My wife has never had any real alergies to food of any kind. But according to this test she has a high to moderate allergy to Whey, Cows Milk, Yogurt, Oyster, Cranberry, egg whites, egg yolk, coffee, soybean, sesame seed. I think the test is bunk, but I am not a professional in this area.

I am almost positive that on the day of the test my wife had 1 or more of the items that she is allergic to for breakfast or later in the day.
As I mentioned earlier in the reply my wife has used whey for many years without any issues, ie. bloating, gas, nausea, headache. So I'm not sure about this test.
The practitioner was Rocky Mountain Analytical and the samples were analyzed at US Biotek, Seattle WA.

I could understand if the gym was trying to sell her some "new" supplement or sell her some type of meal plan? But they are not and I don't think they charged her for the test as she has referred many new clients to them, so it was a way of saying thanks.

It seems to me if she's not having any negative side effects from eating these products already, what would be the point of changing now.
Does she have unexplained joint pains, inflammation or common headaches?

[grifter]

Thanks Delt King, she hasn't had any ongoing headaches, no joint issues; other than a bad knee, and no inflammation.

Also, my bad. The test did cost her $225. So my personal feeling is this test is a bunch of bunk, as she has had no previous symptoms or problems, but now is concerned about eating eggs, whey etc.
