you could be allergic to whey....if this happens with all whey protein you take it probably cant take whey. that sucks. there are other types of protein out there its just that whey is the best

NO!! If it make you sick everythime you take it and you throw up obviously dont take it. Your body throws up for a reason because it doesnt want whatever is in you in there anymore. If it is making you ill switch to a different protein. There is no point in taking protein if you are throwing it up your body isnt absorbing it.

Common sense people if something make you sick, or a certain exercise is painful on a ligament or joint DONT DO IT. Do something in it's place

It might have been left in a damp or hot area. If it tastes like S&*T throw it out and buy some Optimum.

But if whey protein is making him puke dont you think he should switch to a different form of protein?

It might not be the whey though if it was left it was improperly cared for it will taste bad.

Borrow some from a friend or get a sample packet before you go buy another container of whey.

but he is saying this is the second brand that has done this to him? isnt that kinda a far stretch to think that both time he got "bad" whey?

**Thomas_Rivera** · 05-18-2007, 04:59 AM

Or he's taking it in too fast. I know sometimes when guys try to chug a lug, they get a stomach bug.

Theres whey in milk too, so wouldn't he throw up with that too?

Maybe you're developing lactose intolerance?

Yeah, thats what I was going to suggest as well. If you're taking it with milk, perhaps its the lactose thats causing the stomach bug rather than the whey. Try to isolate the cause and adjust from there. I'd think it would be highly unusual for him to get 2 separate batches of "bad" whey.
