Should i drink my protein shake??
Question: ... using milk? Everytime i do, i end up feeling sick in my stomach all the time. I don't know if im lactose intolerant, but is there going to be any difference if i mix water with my protein shake instead of milk? Finally, if i do continue to drink with milk (which i've been doing for 2months) - will it all go to waste when i get diarrhea?
Answers: I would talk to a doctor (an allergist may have the most info about it).
Typically, milk tastes better with protein powder, but if you are allergic or sensitive to it, it's better to take it with water. I've seen a couple protein powders that were unflavored so they can also be mixed with fruit juice.
As far as the effect, there is no difference of whether you take protein powder with milk or water... you still get the same protein from the powder.
If you do drink it with milk, you will get some benefits of it, but the amount of that benefit will vary depending on if it's an allergy, sensitivity, or intolerance.
Oh, another possibility that just popped in my head.... when are you taking the protein powder? Are you taking it right before the workout, after it, or an hour or two beforehand? If you are taking it right before your workout, that may be causing the stomach upset.... I've got that problem. I can't eat or drink anything other than water within an hour or two before an intense workout or I get a really upset stomach.
I used to drink it with milk but lately I use water. But I also started to add strawberries and icecubes for a different tastes. I tried going back to milk once but I found I enjoyed my new flavor more.
try adding lactaid. if you are lactose intolerant, adding lactaid will have NO issues on your body at all. it tastes better too.
