Does anyone know if taking lactose enzymes with whey protein will help digestion. When I take whey protein, i usually get sick and have to run to the bathroom. I know there are other protein sources, but I am looking to take some MRP's and i think most of them contain whey.
Thanks

Some MRP's don't contain as much whey. You'll just have to look at many labels to find one that may fit the bill.
Good luck!

thanks rpacheco. isn't whey a better source of protein? I think i will get a small amount and try it with the lactose enzymes and see how i make out. I will post what I find.
I will just do it on a saturday when I have nothing to do with a bathroom close by!

I found this in a Q & A for myoplex:
Q: I'm interested in trying a nutrition shake like Myoplex, but I'm lactose intolerant. Are there any products that would work for someone with my condition?
A: There are negligible amounts of lactose in Myoplex-it's 99% lactose free. We don't know why, but lactose intolerance affects about 75% of the world population but only about 20-25% of people in the U.S. Since people with this problem lack the enzymes necessary to digest milk and milk byproducts, all the lactose hangs around the colon until mercenary bacteria find it and start to break it down. The resulting fermentation and byproducts cause flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Researchers in a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that lactose-intolerant individuals could easily tolerate small doses of lactose, i.e., around two grams. It seems that these small servings of dairy products such as hard cheese or regular milk resulted in no symptoms of intolerance. If their findings hold up in future research, a serving of Myoplex, with a lactose content of under one gram per serving, should not pose problems to individuals who are normally lactose intolerant.

do you have to put myoplex in the blender or is a shaker sufficient?

Whey is a great protein source, but the best time to take just whey protein is post workout. During the day, other sources of protein will work the best...this is where MRP's come in.
