What exactly is whey and what makes it bothersome for people who are

lactose intolerant? Is whey included in the myoplex lite shakes and

does that also bother those who are LI?

Whey is milk protein. So people who can't digest dairy sometimes have trouble

with whey protein powders. Myoplex does contain some whey. I don't think the

powders generally bother most people with mild lactose intolerance though. You

would have to be pretty sensitive.

I can't recall, but try checking at some of the specialty grocery

stores or health food type stores. My ex was lactose intolerant and

I remember finding lactose free yogurt for him but can't remember

about the CC.
