Beneprotein Powder

[eatmeat4good]

Hi, I am about 3 months into this and still have a very poor appetite. I want to use Beneprotein Powder. I'm scared to use it because it is manufactured in a facility that also uses wheat but the product does not contain wheat. I need to get more protein...am nauseous a lot. Also using Promethazine for the nausea. Wonder if that is bad for you. Dr. says it is OK but I read somewhere it slows digestion so don't want to be hurting myself any more than I already have. I've cut out soy just recently....Any help would be appreciated.

Do you tolerate dairy? This product is whey protein and soy lecithin. Some that are intolerant to soy can still tolerate lecithin. If you tolerate dairy you could give it a try and if things worsen then drop it.

Thank you very much, I hadn't noticed the lecithin. Darn, soy is in everything. I can't even find vitamin E that isn't soy. I'm sure they make it...I will just have to look harder. Thank you Ravenwood

I think the form of vitamin E that starts with D-alpha is lab derived and is not from either soy or wheat. That is what I use.

Here is a table of food sources of it. The first number is how much is in the food and the second number is it's percentage of daily value.
