could someone do me a HUGE favor and list the ingredients of the new whey 42 grape protein bullet???
i tried some liquid protein from costco (body choice brand) and had a serious allergic reaction- my face swelled up like a tomato and i got hives all over and my fingers swelled up like cucumbers (salad anyone?)
i'd like to try the new whey thingies, because i'm finding it hard to get all the protein in every day, but have to avoid going to the ER for IV steroids again.  i couldn't find the ingredients on any of the websites.
THANKS!!!

New- Whey Liquid Protein 42G  Grape Serving Size 3.1 oz Calories = 176 (168 calories are from protein a formula my surgeon taught me) Tatal Fat = 0 Sat fat = 0 Sodium = 64 mg Potassium = 31 mg Total Carbohydrate = 2g  Dietary Fiber = 0 g Sugars = 0 g Protein 42 g Just a hint about taking this protein mix with cold water (perferably iced water) or pour over ice and sip very slowly over 1 1/2 - 2 hours OR Split the dose into two and take in the AM and PM Do not take all at once we can not absorb more than 25-29 g aof protein at a time Hope this helps Lauretta

thanks so much, but this is the nutritional info.... does it have the actual ingredients?  water, isolated whey protein, etc?  i need to know if it has a particular food dye in it before i can take it.  apparently that's what i'm allergic to (no previous food allergies...)

you are SO sweet to look this up for me.
anyhow, i just discovered that it's not the protein stuff at all- it's a reaction to the niacin (B3) in my sublingual drops.
new whey, here i come!

Hi, just wanted to share... My sister is allergic to raw shellfish, and some calcium because it is made with oyster shells... She was put on a cholesterol med that had high Niacin and she didn't know that eating things with a lot of red dye could trigger a reaction so severe... she almost died from eating a slice of red velvet cake...  She now carries an Epi-Pen at all times just in case. She was told that each time she has a reaction, that the severity could increase! She is very careful now, even with foods like bread because of the Niacin. So the link between Iodine/Niacin/Red Dye can be a little scarey.... i just wanted you to know about this, Lisa

I wouldn't rely on this for my protein.  For convenience, it would be O****asionally. Deb
