Duncan/ Question thread.......my response

[Guest guest]

I have discussed the Whey issue with Duncan at length and even though

it seems way over my head I decided to try it. I also have sinus

issues, at times with Dairy, and was skeptical about the whole Whey

issue.

For the past 6 weeks, I drink 1-2 servings of Whey protein with a

couple of Tablespoons of Coconut oil blended with water. The vanilla

doesn't bother me but the Chocolate does. I am gearing up to try the

unflavored Whey.

Also taking selenium, zinc, C, E, B complex and a multi. I notice

that my asthma is so much better and even though the weather is colder

(asthma trigger) I have only used my inhaler twice (one puff) since

then. My immune system isn't the greatest and never has been but I do

notice that even though I picked up the office cold it did not end up

in my chest nor did I get the usual residual sinus infection.

Something is working and I hope it is the Whey plus the

supplements........and of course the Coconut oil

I bought the NOW brand.....is that the version that has MSG in it? I

noam MSG/ nitrate sensitive so I hope that is not why I have been

having little headaches lately.

So, yes I would say that Whey has helped me and it is not causing a

flare up of my sinuses and in fact I have actually been able to eat

some dairy without issue lately

Hi Jeanne;

Some people who have trouble clearing gutamate tolerate even

hydrolyzed whey very well because it only contains traces of

glutamate. Bottom line, Now Foods would be the one to call to see

if they use hydrolyzed whey. Sorry I can't be more helpful on

that.

Glutamate OR detoxification, which is the main attribute of the

whey, could cause tiny headaches. And, as you noted the

risk:benefit heavily favours benefit even with a risk of some

glutamate exposure.

The Jarrow undenatured whey is not hydrolyzed, and whey does not

present a nitrate issue.

I'm glad it is working and you can enjoy the odd egg-nog with

real cream!
