I’m unaware of any scientific basis for this doctors claim. I’d be interested to know why this physicians believes this to be so.

I know it’s possible to develop a sensitivity to foods that are consumed on a regular basis. Many years ago I worked with a client that ate one or more whey-based protein bars daily. This worked out fine for him for many years. However one day he developed odd allergic symptoms. Through careful analysis of his diet and lifestyle, it was determined that he was reacting to one or more ingredients in the protein bars.

I think the Jay Robb protein powders are high quality. But *if* your wife is having a reaction to the whey protein itself … then switching to a different variety of protein powder may be indicated – brown rice protein, egg white protein, golden pea protein, etc.

Congrats on your healthy monday participation! I wanted to bring to your attention about a recent happening. A MD told my close friend during a visit that supplementing protein(via) protein powders may destroy the stomach walls in the long run. My wife(who has been having protein shakes in the morning for a year now)recently developed some easiphagus discomfort and went to MD who ordered endoscopy and found out redness in the stomach(Gastritis). We have been regularly using the JAY ROBB Whey protein and she switched the muscle milk for a month and now back to Jay Robb. Jay Robb does not have anything artificial to my knowledge but is this theory true that supplementing whey protein or any protein powder would destroy stomach wall in the long run? something to think about..may be mix and match and do not have the drink every day..Just a thought..i will share more info as more results come out of endoscopy.

Best Regards

One of my goals is to find creative ways of spreading the word in a responsible manner. Healthy Monday seems to fit the bill.

Be well!

Seriously though, that’s a very interesting observation. I wonder if it might have something to do with the amino acid composition of the respective protein powders.

BTW, which egg white protein are you using? I typically use the MRM brand. I think it tastes great and it’s pretty clean (nothing artificial).

Be well!
