Whey Protein That Is Treated In Such A Way To Avoid The Mucous Forming Aspect?
Question: Hello.
I read that whey can cause mucous just as a glass of milk can. Do you know of a whey protein powder which has been treated in such a way to avoid the mucous forming aspect? Or a cheese which does not have the mucous forming factor? Do you know of a protein powder other than rice or soy?
Thank you.

2) Excellent source of protein
3) Good for those on low carbohydrate diets

I will check Garden of Life's protein powder and get back to you.
Do you know why my nose will run if I drink cow's milk if the milk does not cause mucous?

Hi,
Garden of life " RAW PROTEIN, Contain sprouted grains, and it uses brown rice, but its better for the people having sensitivity to rice, as per the claims made by the company and many of my patients reviews, I would like you to give it a try as finding vegan product with our rice in it is difficult to find in market, their are animal protein products like "ANIMAL NITRO" which is used to body builders as protein substitute, but as far as I think you are looking for a vegan protein powder.
Now about the runny nose after drinking cow's milk in you case can be explained by a sensitivity to certain portion of milk component. You might want to try a warm milk if using the straight cold and vice versa. As every person is different and it works in different fashion trying hot / cold sometimes makes a good difference.
Hope it makes a difference. Feel free to contact me in case of further concern.

I just ordered the protein powder. I'm hopeful as I avoid gluten, which I neglected to put in my profile.
The mucous becomes evident several hours later. It's been a while since I drank milk. I've read and heard from so many doctors say milk is mucous forming, but I hope you are right and they are wrong. Then I can have cheese.

Hi,
Welcome back, I did consider "gluten free" because most on the patients having similar issues like you does have gluten sensitivity, so the RAW PROTEIN powder do take care of it even though you didnt mentioned the gluten sensitivity.
RAW Protein POWDER doesn’t contain as follow – there are no fillers, no artificial flavors and no synthetic ingredients and it's gluten-free and dairy-free.
Now as far as the milk forming mucous here is an answer for the expert from MAYO CLINIC and it to confirms that milk on its own do not cause mucous below is the question asked and answer given
Cold symptoms: Does drinking milk increase phlegm?
I've heard that you shouldn't drink milk when you have a cold because it increases phlegm. Is this true?
Answer
from XXXXXXX M. Steckelberg, M.D.
Phlegm is the thick, sticky mucus that drips down the back of your throat when you have a cold. Although drinking milk may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be, milk doesn't cause your body to make more phlegm. In fact, frozen dairy products can soothe a sore throat and provide calories when you otherwise may not eat.
Hope it helps to clarify some doubts.
THANKS, feel free to contact for any further clarifications.
