Trying to find out if anyone has the same problem....When I down a protein shake most brands make my throat feel like it is closing and its hard to swallow for about 45 minutes after. Anyone have any knowledge on this? I have no known allergies but am lactose intolerant. thanks

Sounds like allergies to me. I know someone who has a reaction to one brand, but not another, so you might want to try a different brand..but keep in mind that with that type of allergic reaction it tends to get more severe with additional exposure and you may end up in the ER...I had a dye allergy at work and ended up in ER twice after years of working with the stuff and having no problem..

You may want to try a non dairy protein like egg or soy.

Thanks for the info, it seems the only type of protein that doesn't affect me is MHP Probolic-SR 12 Hour Muscle Feeder. I just haven't been able to narrow down what is different in MHP than the others I have tried.
