Hi folks,

Just testing the water here, see if anyone has had a similar problem.

I use body fortress Whey protein powder and have been doing so for about 2 to 3 years i think.

I never really considered that my body might be reacting badly to it, i just put it off to feeling under the weather or that i was just in general a sickly child LOL

The symptons im having are, i get a weird blotchy rash on my back and neck and i can feel quite fatigued at times and ive noticed im heading to the toilet more often.

Could it be that i am allergic, or is something else because if i am allergic has hasnt been that bad a reaction considering ive used it all this time.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Not exactly the same but I've been drinking 2-4 shakes a day for the last two weeks and I feel bloated after a shake. I know it's not my lactose intolerance as it happens even after I drink a protein shake with zero lactose. Sometimes I feel so bloated I can't burp and feel like I'm going to throw up. It usually goes away before I have to workout but sometimes it doesn't.
