Protein Supplements make me sick (literally)

[runmickrun]

Hi all,

I am a big guy (6-4, 220 lbs) and need a lot of protein. The thing is that powders, and shakes make me really sick. I tried it again this morning and within 2 hours I was throwing up.

Aside from eating 4 pound of tuna and red meat a day, does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Mick

There are lots of different protein powders, some of which upset my stomach and some which don't. I tried lots of different brands until I found one I like. Current favorites are Beverly Int'l Muscle Provider (delicious!) and Dymatize Elite Whey.

Are you trying soy or dairy based? You could be allergic to one or the other.

If you are lactose intolerant you could try whey protein isolate or egg protein.

I would stay away from plant based protein supplements though like soy.
