Sorry for bumping that old thread, however, I've got a similar issue with topic starter.
First of all, I am an absolute newbie, I've never used protein supplements before.
When I take protein(mixing it simply with water), after a few hours(2-3) it appears that my skin is itching, also, my ears turn slightly red and my cheeks turn red. Also, I've got a little bit of dizzy/light-headed feeling.
It doesn't look like lactose intolerance as it has different symptoms, but it looks like dairy or milk intolerance. However, I used to consume dairy on daily basis without any issues.
Also, there is sucralose sweetener which may be allergen, however, I used to drink those "Zero sugar" beverages with sucralose without an issue.
The protein I bought is a Whey protein from a pretty popular company.
Here is the list of ingredients:
Matcha Flavour: Whey Protein Concentrate (93%) (Milk, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)), Matcha Green Tea Powder (4%), Flavouring, Sweetener (Sucralose)
Anyone who had this issue managed to solve this? I bought 1KG of this thing but I am not sure whether I should test plant based protein now or at least an isolate. Maybe it'd help. But I wouldn't really want to throw out a lot of protein.
