I've read that whey protein can cause an autoimmune response in some people that causes arthritis type pain. It can also cause blackheads or acne.
I got off IP and all whey protein containing foods. When I changed to a more vegan diet (but, not vegan because I eat fish, poultry, and meat just not cow or any cow product), I noticed pain subsiding in 2-3 days. After a week my complexion cleared up and the pain was nearly gone. I wish I could get back on IP because I can't seem to drop weight any other way but, I couldn't deal with the pain either. I'm trying a plant based protein called, Vega One and some others. I've had an incredible energy boost one month after changing my nutrition. Last week I cycled 120 miles over 4 days (Monday 50 miles), swam laps for an hour without stopping and road horses twice during the week. Only problem is I also blew it by drinking wine 4 nights and I've gained 5 lbs!!
I wish I could do IP but, I'm going to keep trying to stick to the alternate program I've devised using vegetarian based protein and eating 2 c. Veggies for lunch and dinner.
