whey and back pain

[Guest guest]

I found the following info about whey protein and back pain on the URL below.

(personally I never had a bad reaction to Immunocal before being on Nystatin,

which

seems to cause tremendous food sensitivities so that maybe a normal amount is

suddenly

interpreted as too much)

It says:

>If you are not taking in enough protein, you will know by watching your

bodyweight and

circumferential measurements drop without a drop in body fat. If you are

getting too

much, you will know because of a lot of low back pain and feelings of malaise.

If you do

not want to experience this discomfort, have a blood test for urea–called blood

urea

nitrogen (BUN)–during the time you are taking protein. Some labs call it Urea

Nitr for short

or Urea Nitrogen. The normal range varies from lab to lab. Some say 4-24

milligrams per

deciliter (mg./dl.) and others say 7-25 mg./dl. Dr. Passwater suggests

that a BUN

over 21 mg./dl. indicates poor health. My BUN measured 15 mg./dl. on July 22,

1995

while in the midst of consuming 85-160 grams of protein per day. I never

experienced

low back pain or feelings of malaise. If these symptoms happen to you, lower

your protein

consumption. After a while, you will excrete the excess and perk back up

nicely.<

attribute those
