Supplements - whey protien???

[bpenn9]

I was having a horrible time with my IC and it wasn't until I really took the IC diet to an extreme that I have been doing so much better...Ive been working out 4-6 times a week, now that I have my IC under control me being a male would like to take some supplements for muscle growth but I am really cautious to try anything...Has anyone used Whey Protein or any other supplements typically taken for weight training?

IC Diet (pretty dang strict)
20 mg Elavil at night
50 mg Ultram at night

Thats it.

I've pretty much given up on taking any form of aminos, so, I make sure to have "Just Whites" liquid egg whites in the house and I eat them at least once every day. It's not the same as whey or aminos but at least it doesn't hurt the IC.

Whey protein and other hydrolyzed proteins (corn protein, wheat protein, soy protein, etc) often contain MSG, a big bladder irritant for many of us. If you are sensitive to MSG, you might want to be very careful about trying something like this. If you do decide to try it, begin with a very small amount and see how your bladder reacts.

Thanks for your replies, do products disclose whether or not they congtain MSG? How do you know, not only for protein drinks but for that matter everyother product?
