Hehe ok if you insist!
Yeah, I would definitely stay AWAY personally. To me, a protein shake made with whey seems no different than drinking a glass of milk and it would definitely equal an attack for me
I have read stuff about whey being the most easily absorbed though too, but I mean, my body's not going to be absorbing it too well if it just sets off my IBS... I'm IBS-D (sometimes A but definitely more towards D), but even so, my "gut" instinct (no pun intended ) would say definitely no... It IS a derivative, but it's PURE derivative, and lots of it. So it wouldn't really be the same as, say, some whey powder at the bottom of a list of ingredients. I don't know, that's just my thought. It IS possible that you could tolerate it, but I mean, you'd probably be having a lot of it - 3x a day everday, right? I think it would be kind of dangerous ground...
Have you ever considered egg (white) protein? I've read a few places that that's a pretty easily absorbed one too... I think that's what Elizabeth is or was taking and from what I remember she liked it.
In the long run, I don't worry about the different absorption rates between soy and whey too much and I still take a soy powder and am quite happy with it. Most soy powders have more carbs than most whey powders, which are often 100% protein, but I did find one (Weider brand) that was 90% protein a while back with only a few g of carbs in it. It did have artificial sweeteners and a bit of dairy dervitives in it though, but I seemed to do ok with it while I was taking it. So there definitely ARE lower carb/higher protein soy powders out there if that's what you're looking for
HTH a little!
