ooo snap I have some of that at home!!

unfortunately it DESTROYS my stomach... i can just take the lactose enzyme pills before drinking I guess. That's high enough quality??

I believe it's OK for the price. Below that, you shouldn't take protein powder at all IMO.

I usually stick with isolates but lately I haven't been having any protein powder at all due to my increasingly bad lactose issues. Can't have anything without EPIC bloat + extreme stomach pains and then the side effects that come from those things... I will only be taking protein within the formula.

If the AllMax is good enough likely my Bioplex Xtreme Power Whey is good enough as well? And I also have Myofusion handy.

I have same problem with the lactose, I have to search hard for proteins that will not destroy my stomach. I have been trying mine with some lactose free milk and I have to say they are really good. Only problem is lactose free milk is expensive so I can't use it all the time. Hope you find something that is good. I have just been using some hydro whey but it is expensive.

I've been introduced to the joys of lactose free milk already... I tempted fate the other day and had cereal with regular skim milk - bad idea... so lactose free for me from now on.

I'd get the hydro whey but its way out of my pricerange... i might make something on trueprotein, but im not sure if they have lactose free components available...

if you have any other proteins that treat you well, lemme know! It's hard trying to find good ones

A GOOD isolate shouldn't give you lactose problems. You should be careful though even isopure now tastes a LITTLE like milk, so it probably has some lactose, even though they say they don't.

Unfortunately though, many isolates don't taste that great, and cost more.

I LIKE isopure, but the premade stuff is expensive and in glass. The powder is HIGH in vitamin K. Frankly, I think that is bad for ANYONE, but ESPECIALLY me, since I take warfarin. The NATURAL stuff is not quite as bad, but harder to get, and more expensive.
