Microfiltration Whey Protein Isolate: As much lactose as Whey Protein Concentrate?

I picked up some microfiltration whey protein isolate. Due to my lactose intolerance, isolate is the only way to go. Unfortunately, this microfiltration isolate is affecting me just as badly as concentrate would, which has never happened with other isolates. Heck, I wonder if I somehow got concentrate by mistake.

As isolates go, which contain more lactose and which contain less? I bought 5 pounds of the microfiltration protein and that was an unfortunate mistake.

Thanks.

did you order the 5lbs of microfiltration whey isolate for 5lbs of premium whey? The 5lbs whey isolate says whey isolate right on the front of the bag. its not a generic label like our custom orders. We guarantee everything also, so you can return it if its giving you trouble.

Thanks for the response, Alex. I ordered 5 pounds of microfiltration whey isolate. It's affecting me just as badly (re: lactose intolerance) as concentrate would, which I've never before experienced with other isolates.

Is there much lactose in microfiltration whey isolate? I hate having to take a lactase tablet each time I consume a scoop. I hate even more the discomfort when I don't have a lactase tablet around.

As stated in the original post, I think that I and others would like to know the continuum of whey isolates by amount of lactose. That is, which isolates have the fewest (or no) lactose and which have the most? Many thanks.

ok I'll check the analysis. But the whey isolate 5lbs I would think would be less than 1/2 %. I'll check the analysis and get back to you. you can return it for another whey isolate

Thanks, Alex. I would like to take you up on the offer of exchanging the microfiltration for another type that has less (or no) lactose; however, there would be an obvious difference in price, which probably complicates the transaction. Furthermore, I don't want to go without some whey protein during the time it takes to send what I have and then receive the new batch.

Again, thanks for your help.

Have you considered that there might be other problems other than lactose.

Such as what?

The only time I have lactose intolerance issues is after I digest the microfiltration whey isolate. I don't take the protein with anything that is milk-based. Furthermore, other whey isolates have not created these problems. After being lactose intolerant for about 3 years now, I am more than capable of narrowing down the problem foods.
