Re: chelating with glutathioine?/whey protein

[Guest guest]

To be fair, this *is* one of Andy's recommendations (whey) for some,

isn't it? If plasma cysteine is low.

Whey was a good thing in our home. It took a few tries at different

protein powder blends to get one that didn't aggravate the loose

stools, but we used Jay Robb and our local food co-op brands for at

least 2 years. We were even GFCF for part of that time. I

understand that those who are big casein reactors might not tolerate

whey in any form due to cross-contamination and possible issues with

whey itself, but to discount it completely might be premature.

We used whey because my son didn't eat much protein. I wouldn't

recommend it to families just starting GFCF, those with super

sensitive kids (who are GFCF) or to those with milk allergies.

I'm not really commenting on the article (didn't read it all).

Jay Robb whey protein powder was a very good thing in my house also.

I started adding whey to my son's diet once we left GFCF, as a way to

increase glutathione. (He is so much better on round and does tolerate

sulphur foods.) After a while he started getting strange boils, and I

finally tracked it down to the whey. What I found out is that protein

powders (including whey powder) contain a lot of free glutamic acid

(MSG). MSG can cause boils in sensitive people (and much worse, of

course). The boils left forever once the whey was gone.

I now avoid all protein powders. I also think that if a parent has a

child that is prone to seizures, it would be a good idea to avoid

them. This is just my experience.

Can you elaborate some on protein powders?
