I'm allergic to whey I need a different protein alternative

[eatmarkers]

I'm allergic to whey I need a different protein alternative. I am thinking hemp seed protein or maybe egg white. I don't like how's there's a lot of sodium in egg white though. Also someone suggested LG Sciences Lipotropic. Could someone help direct me to the best alternative with a brand also? thanks Also I noticed hemp seed can be expensive like 17 bucks for less than a lb.

get some soy protein, and some casein i guess

I'm not a fan of Hemp seed. Typically you're getting more fiber than protein.

Rice protein however, is an option. I've been told it's kinda chalky but doable.

Has a similar profile to whey (30g serving yielding 24g protein) The one by NOW is unflavored so you'd probably want to look at adding fruits or something like that to it.

A suggestion would be Vitaberry from PP. Stuff tastes AMAZING and it's low calorie while being high in antioxidant potential.

If he's allergic to whey, he'll be even more so on casein.

Describe the symptoms of your allergy to whey protein. If you get a lot of gas and bloat you may be lactose intolerant, not allergic.

Also, if you're looking to replace whey with something else strictly for pre or post WO you may want to consider BCAA + extra L-Leucine. Get samples if you think you may be allergic.

maybe try some digestive enzymes too?

True Protein's Gemma isolate is working well for me.

Have you tried a whey whithout protein concentrate? I found that American Whey was more digestible in a milkshake than products with concentrate were in water.

Healthy n fit egg protein - on 11% dv of sodium.
True protein Beef Protein Isolate - 10.99 a pound

I heard somewhere that Soy is estrogenic so I wouldn't use that. Research it though i could be wrong.

I have an allergy to whey also but i tuff it out with whey isolate. I don't know that Casein is the same as whey though.... now I have to look that up because I use Calcium caseinate.

It's not the same, but they are derived from the same source. There are actually many, many people with a mild casein allergy.

I'm specifically whey so maybe the casein doesn't affect my allergies.
