Isopure is good stuff... Way expensive, but if that's what it takes, that's what it takes.

How much protein you using per shake (30 g, 40 g)? What brand?

Mixing with milk (skim, 2%, etc) or water?
You might be taking in too much per serving and not digesting it. No enzyme will help that....

Or you might just be using a cheap ass protein that will tear you up regardless of dose. If you are at all sensitive to lactose (milk sugar) you need to stick with a whey Isolate. :-\

Post by: candidizzle on April 27, 2008, 05:15:38 PM: i would add solid protein into the meals where your taking shakes, changed the bananas into apples (expect for breakfasst) and change tuna+rice into a pro/fat meal (last meal before bed)

just my 2 cents..
