There are no protein supplements. It's the only thing in our diet that can't be supplemented. That's why we have to eat protein, but we can take everything else in pill form. There are a lot of protein powders available on the market that you can add to the foods you can tolerate. Some come in flavors and some are flavorless. I've heard the AnyWhey flavorless is great for mixing in soups, pudding, etc. You might have to try a couple of different ones to find something you like. Protein powder can be found at nutrition stores and are starting to appear in many grocery stores. I've even heard Wal-Mart has a pretty good tasting protein powder. From HealthNotes.com: Protein powders are concentrated sources of protein that fall somewhere between food and supplement. They're usually fortified with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and are an alternative way to add protein to any diet. Protein powders are usually based on soy protein, whey protein, egg albumen, rice protein, or other sources. Varieties Protein powders are available in canisters in plain and flavored varieties--the plain varieties are bland and nearly tasteless, making them easy to incorporate into foods. Natural varieties with no artificial ingredients are also available. Buying and storing tips Look for protein powders in the supplement section of health food stores, or in the specialty foods section of some supermarkets. Store protein powders in a cool, dark location for 6 to 12 months. Availability Protein powder is available year-round. Preparation, uses, and tips Combine protein powder with yogurt, raspberries, and almonds in a blender and purée for a quick breakfast. Add unflavored protein powder to cooked oatmeal, cereal, breads, cookies, or other baked goods for added protein. Nutritional Highlights Protein powder, 1 oz.
