1400 lactose free?

**bobby** · 11-12-2009, 10:20 AM

Hi,
I recently ordered a custom blend of 70% CFM whey isolate and 30% 520.
Forgot to check that the 520 has 4g carbs per 30g serving = LACTOSE. =bad stomach cramps/bloating.
I am severely sensitive to lactose in protein powders.
Would a better option be to replace the 520 with the 1400 as it has 0 g carbs per serving, hence it should contain zero lactose.

The analysis of the1400 states that it consists of:
Pro: 86.5%
Ash: 3.1%
Moisture: 4.3%
Fat: 3.8%
Total percentage: 97.7% thus the remaining 2.3% must be lactose.

Would this small amount cause me any digestive problems?
I have read that 0.1g of lactose per 20g serving is equivalent to just under 1 cup of yoghurt (www.wheyoflife.org). I can consume a cup of yoghurt/cottage cheese with no problem.

Also, does the 1400 contain the same immune system enhancing fractions as the CFM (alpha lactabumin and glycomactopeptides)?

Also, thanks to Alex and the team at PF for their top quality products. Much better than the previous company that I was purchasing from.

1400 is lactose free. I don't know the answer to your other question.

I'm not saying 1400 may not have a trace amount of Lactose.. but I've made mistakes with people in giving them protein with lactose in it in an MRP, but it was such a small amount they had no reaction. I've given people strait whey isolate before that could not handle lactose and they had no reaction.

1400 being an isolate.

The 1400 is considered "lactose-free".

I too am VERY lactose intolerant and have used the 1400 with no digestive problems whatsoever.

As for your other question, I went back to the description of 1400 and could find no information regarding a more specific constituent brakedown. Alex will have to chime in on that one ...
