Whey blend

Nutrition Q&A [Moderated]

Hello Drs.,

I purchased this whey blend supplement (concentrate + isolate + hydrolysates) and it caused some bowel problems (constipation, bloating, slimy/smelly stool, mild diarrhea). I have since stopped taking it (for the past 4 days) and my issues appear to be resolved. Previously, I had been getting the same brand but it was whey isolate, and I had no issues whatsoever.

So the question is - am I experiencing these symptoms because I cannot tolerate the blend, or is this specific supplement “tainted” or contaminated somehow?​

Some people don’t do well with various constituents in non-isolate whey, e.g. the blends. If you did well with the isolate, I’d go back to that.
