Whey protein is in casein. Avoid it for CF

Is whey protein GFCF??

Dana, I was looking at the Jay Robb brand of whey protein. It has very high

amounts of amino acids per serving - doesn't this create problems? Also, it has

high levels of aspartame and glutamine which can cause problems for high ammonia

kids (the glutamine).  Is there something else I could use?

It didn't for my son.

Also, the scoop that is included in the jar is large, probably 1/4 cup. That is

probably what they are referencing for a serving. So just don't use that much.

You can also buy rice protein powder and pea protein powder [both of which were

very bad intolerances for my son], see if either of those work better for you.

Dana,

 

How did you know he was intolerant to these? That is one of my biggest

questions? How to know if something is a problem? Another is how do you know if

they need something? Trial and error? What about the amino acids? How do you

know what to give? Was that the reason for the whey protein? A lot of questions

I know.

 

I have been trying to figure this out since Christmas. My son had an MRI a

couple of weeks ago at the local hospital. Came home with a cut in his head and

not able to walk for a couple of days because of the soreness. They found

nothing. Yesterday an EEG. They found nothing. They said what I was describing

was temporal lobe seizures, but didn't find anything. In the meantime, I had

started giving a tiny amount of Taurine in the mornings along with some CLO, B

complex, and ACE and the violence had calmed down. He missed these yesterday

because of the test and last night had another incident.

 

Thanks,

Drissia

Rotation and research.

>>Another is how do you know if they need something? Trial and error?

Observation of symptoms, and research.

>>What about the amino acids? How do you know what to give?

I researched what each one was good for.

>>Was that the reason for the whey protein?

I used whey protein as a general amino supp, while I was giving high doses of

specific aminos.

I have been told that taurine helps with seizures. Could have been the other

things also.
