Does egg protein have the same constipation effect as whey protein?
I have a GI problem and it’s difficult to get enough protein intake.
But I can’t crap for a few days if I have even one whey protein drink. Even if I mix it with magnesium and fiber.
I’m wondering if egg protein would be better. Been considering an Egg White Protein.
Any thoughts?
[update: I decided to do an experiment… I bought some egg white protein to test on myself. If I don’t post back, you know what happened to me]
Update day 2: I’m still alive and I can still poop too. Much different than the whey proteins I’ve used. Let’s see what happens after a couple more days.
For those who have problems with whey, I can confirm that egg white protein does not cause constipation like whey protein does, not for me anyway… if taken with a bit of magnesium citrate and fiber mixed in the drink. I’m finally getting enough protein intake. Only downside is that the egg white protein I’m using is terribly expensive.
