It is the perfect choice for you if you have gut issues or a sensitive stomach, or if you are on the lookout for a protein boost without all the processing and unnecessary ingredients, You can finally bid farewell to uncomfortable side effects like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, and stomach pain. We get positive feedback all the time from customers dealing with conditions like Candidiasis, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, gastritis, gastroparesis, GERD, lactose intolerance, leaky gut, IBS, IBD, SIBO, and ulcerative colitis. Do not hesitate to order samples and discover if our unflavored protein powder is a good option for you.
Most protein powders contain emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, and flavors in them. These extra ingredients can affect your digestive system, even if they are in small amounts, and cause gastrointestinal (GI) problems. Some common symptoms include bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, and stomach pain. These symptoms happen because additives do not look like real food and are be hard to digest, especially for people who have issues with their gut. common additives in protein powder: acacia gum, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, aspartame, carob bean gum, carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin, dextrose, erythritol, gellan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, inulin, locust bean gum, “natural” flavors, maltodextrin, rice syrup solids, soy lecithin, silica, sucralose, sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, xylitol When the food you eat does not get fully broken down, it can have two possible outcomes. First, your gut might take in too much water, which can lead to diarrhea. Second, the partially digested food can feed the bacteria in your gut, causing them to release extra gas. Having too much gas can make you feel bloated, make you fart, give you stomach pain, and can even slow down the movement of food through your colon, which can cause constipation.
Many people drink a protein shake every day, so it is crucial to recognize how the cumulative effect of small quantities of additives can be significant. Even if you do not have gut issues, consuming additives regularly can slowly disrupt regulatory pathways in your intestines. This may eventually contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory conditions. Furthermore, food additives, particularly artificial sweeteners, can disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome – the collection of microorganisms that help you digest food. In essence, food additives pose a threat to both your immediate and long-term gut health. the alternative: Protein Matrix Comprised of (Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate, Egg Albumen, Glutamine Peptides), Polydextrose, Sunflower Creamer (Sunflower Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate, Mono- and Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin, Tocopherols), Natural and Artificial Flavor, MCT Powder (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Nonfat Dry Milk, Disodium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide), Lecithin, Cellulose Gum, Salt, Yellow 5, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Papain, Bromelain Many protein powders include whey and/or casein protein, which are derived from cheese and yogurt production. Dairy-based like these are well-known for triggering digestive problems, particularly for the one-third of adults who experience lactose intolerance. People with lactose intolerance lack the enzymes needed to fully digest lactose, the sugar in dairy products. As previously mentioned, partially digested food can lead to uncomfortable gastrointestinal side effects. Almost every other protein powder out there is made with protein concentrates or isolates, which are essentially stripped-down versions of real food. Instead of being labeled as “peas” or “whey,” they are listed as “pea protein” and “whey protein.” Concentrates and isolates undergo extensive mechanical and chemical processes to become protein powder. In some cases, chemical solvents like hexane are used to extract the protein from its natural source. As a result, the protein in your protein shake looks nothing like real food. Your digestive system is specifically designed to handle minimally-processed or unprocessed natural foods, not artificial imitations. Consuming anything other than real food can lead to unwanted side effects. While the long-term effects of consuming processed ingredients like protein isolates are still being studied, accumulating research suggests that they can significantly disturb the balance of your gut microbiota.
The gut microbiome not only aids in food digestion, but also acts as a protective barrier against harmful pathogens, educates your immune system, and influences various physiological processes. Imbalances in the delicate equilibrium of the gut microbiome have therefore been associated with the development of numerous chronic diseases. Considering this strong connection, it is wise to steer clear of protein powders made with protein concentrates and isolates. Instead of relying on these concentrates and isolates, our unflavored egg white protein powder is made from pasteurized, dried egg whites. Unless you have an allergy or sensitivity to eggs, egg whites are undoubtedly the best protein option for your gut. They are low in fiber, low in FODMAPs, and possess the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) among all whole foods. This means they are easily digested and absorbed by the body. Our satisfied customers consistently report experiencing fewer digestive issues when using egg white protein powder compared to any other type of protein powder. Protein powders are, to put it simply, powdered versions of high protein foods. They are not nutritionally superior to any other dietary protein, they are just more convenient. The main source of dietary protein in our unflavored egg white protein powder is egg whites, the clear liquid that surrounds the yellow yolk of an egg. Egg whites are naturally high in protein, so all we have to do is pasteurize and dry them to make the best unflavored egg white protein powder. Compared to what it takes to extract protein from other foods (peas, milk etc.), this is hardly processing. In fact, our unflavored egg white protein powder is the most natural (least processed) protein powder on the planet. Adding unflavored protein powder to your diet is simply an easy way to boost your protein intake. Protein powder is not nutritionally superior to any other type of dietary protein, it is just easier to eat. If you cannot get enough protein from other protein sources, protein powder can help you balance your diet. Many of our customers use our protein powder because they have trouble digesting other forms of protein. They choose our unflavored protein powder because is is made specifically for people with gut issues and sensitive stomachs. We recommend adding unflavored protein powder to smoothies. If smoothies are not your thing, you can add unflavored protein powder to recipes like pancakes and overnight oats. Check out our unflavored protein powder recipes for more ideas. Use unflavored protein powder any time you need extra calories and protein. This may be first thing in the morning, right after a workout, or with a meal. Replacing part of a meal with a high protein smoothie is a popular way to use unflavored protein powder, but drinking a smoothie as a snack works too. If you are hungry, or simply looking for a protein boost, unflavored protein powder is a great option. Our unflavored protein powder is made in Plymouth, Massachusetts in a FDA-Registered, GMP-Certified facility. Although we source ingredients from around the world, our primary ingredients (egg whites, almonds, oats, etc.) come from US farms.

I recently tried the unflavored protein powder and thought it was great! I’m always looking for more protein options that are not only convenient but have whole food ingredients. This fits the bill, and has been a great addition to my smoothies. The only problem is that the powder gets stuck in the zipper, which makes the bag hard to close. I had to put it in a tupperware.

After doing internet research I was stoked to find Drink Wholesome. I love that I now don’t have to worry about stomach irritation but can still get the protein I need. My mom, (who has Crohn’s disease) can also tolerate it as well. It feels very relieving to find something that works for my ever-changing GI issues.

If you’re anything like me, this protein powder will change your life. I have been experiencing weight loss for months due to a serious IBS flare up. I haven’t been able to stomach much at all, including any of the supplements that my gastroenterologist recommended. I found this simple protein powder online a few weeks ago and it is one of the only things that I can tolerate. Seriously, no side effects whatsoever. It helps me get my protein in and you can add it to pretty much anything. I can’t thank you guys enough!!!

LOVE this product. It is taste-less in my smoothies / overnight oats and the macro’s are incredible. I stopped using whey because it was really hurting my stomach and this doesn’t bloat me at all. Will definitely be repurchasing!
Pam –

I was pretty nervous about trying a new protein powder given how sensitive my stomach is, so I went with the unflavored. So far so good. I just add it to my smoothies. I think I will try the vanilla flavor next. I was recently diagnosed with IBD, and pretty much everything hurts these days, so it’s nice to have something safe.

I have IBS and this has been a lifesaver. It’s really hard for me to get enough protein and my dietician recommended protein powder. I tried a whole bunch and they all upset my stomach, except for this one! I’m not a big sweet things, so the unflavored does the trick.

Tastes great and doesn’t spike my blood sugar. It foams a lot, but I found that adding peanut butter helps. 1 bag lasts me 3 weeks.

I’ve been making peanut butter protein balls with this. They come out perfect every time. Not chalky or gritty. Easy five stars!!!

Really good. I like how filling it is. I would not recommend mixing it with just water. Doing so makes a foamy mess.

Really small serving size which is nice. Didn’t realize it didn’t come with scoop. Not a big deal really. Mixes so well. Barely tastes like anything. Only complaint is the size of the bag – will have to order more soon!

I’m a huge fan of drink wholesome and I’ve had all of the other flavors. I gave the unflavored a try not expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It really doesn’t taste like much at all. I add it to my smoothie with banana and peanut butter and it’s like it’s not even there. 90 calories for 20 grams of protein is impressive too. Really good product.
