Lactose Free Protein/Weight Gainers?

Nutrition
1

I’m lactose intolerant and am wondering if there are any lactose free protein powders or weight gainers. I figured I would simply buy a lactose free protein powder and mix it with water and oats or something like that to make my own weight gainer.

I would probably be buying the protein powder from GNC so if anyone knows any lactose free protein powders that GNC sells I’d appreciate it.

GNC is overpriced garbage, I would highly recommend NOT buying anything from them ever.

I am INCREDIBLY lactose intolerant so heres what I will recommend.

Get something where the protein is Whey Protein Isolate (this is the only type of whey that is 99% lactose free)

And I usually mix mine with Lactose Free Skim Plus (milk) taste amazing.

As far as specific brands muscle gauge and scifit are the only two I tried. But the key is to find something with just Isolate as the protein plus whatever they use as binders and sweeteners

For example one of mine is “Whey Protein Isolate, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Xanthan Gum, And Sucralose”

Any of the brands that claim that they have some enzymes that will make you fine are bullshit. They “could” work for you, but in my experience they never do. I guess that just depends on how lactose intolerant you are.

I would highly recommend buying it online though and not from GNC. They truly are overpriced and (generally) use inferior ingredients

help_me_out,
I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Egg Protein for about 2 to 3 months. Like their Whey Protein, it has Aminogen in it which aides in digestion. I’ve tried other Egg Protein powders in the past, and they’ve upset my stomach but ON’s doesn’t at all!

It can be a little pricey and it only comes in 2lbs containers, but I’ve found a few sites (by searching online) who have comparable prices to Whey ($30 - $35 for a 2lb container). I adhere to a pretty strict paleo diet, and ON’s Egg Protein fits right in for post-workout recovery, before-bed protein shake, or an in-between meals shake. Hope this helps and good luck!

Give nature’s Plus “yes to dairy” pills a try, also am currently loving universal’s beef aminos and liver tabs

I should have mentioned that I do not care the slightest bit about cost or taste. I’ll drink whatever.
I’m simply looking for something that is lactose free and not filled with a bunch of garbage. In other words, the healthiest most natural lactose free protein powder there is.

Thanks for the suggestions

Isopure, a little pricey, but if it works go for it

Or like RampantBadger kinda stated above, beef protein. I’ve heard MuscleMeds Carnivor is good, but it has some whack flavors.
