Hey guys, just looking for some advice on where to go from here. I’m almost certainly intolerant to whey protein concentrate, in particular this one [https://www.myprotein.com/sports-nut…ation=10530986](https://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutrition/impact-whey-protein/10530943.html?variation=10530986). Symptoms are bloating, gas and increased bowel movements. Have stopped using it, symptoms go away. Start again and symptoms return. So what should I try next? Whey protein isolate? Usually struggle to hit protein goals so would like an easy supplement. Cheers!

Hey James,

Thanks for the post and for joining our forum. This isn’t a terribly unique experience, unfortunately, and I think you might do well with some whey protein isolate. Try a pound first to see if you can swing it. We are running a 20% off sale this weekend if you’d like to try ours 🙂
