All TPW customers log in and check your my locker area for a message with a discount code in, mine was 10% off

Mine was... something like 7.5%. Not worth it, IMHO.

Will post it to see if somebody else can get any use out of it...

Random question, but...does Whey protein give anyone else the s*ts something silly?
I donlt have mine with milk, just mix with water after my morning brekkie and I end up pooping rancid black tar

I think everyone gets some sort of problem when they first start using whey, mine was bad gas that lasted a couple of weeks. But I'm fine now.

If this has lasted a while, you may just have an intolerance to lactose

Still better than a kick in the **** if you were going to order anyway.

Mmmm... not really.

I have a 60%-off code from KineticaSports*, so 7.5% off from TPW is a bit underwhelming.

*KineticaSports stuff is around 50% more expensive than... pretty much anything else.

My code is 10% but as usual you can't use it on the good stuff (4-6kg whey)

When I first started using whey then yeah, and awful farts. Now, nothing at all.

Thanks - I haven't needed to top up my macros using whey for some time, so I guess it must be that. Hopefully it won't last too long!

I do think I possibly have some sort of lactose intolerance, especially notice it when I eat half melted cheese (makes me want to barf)

Serious question: are you of north-European descent? If so, it's unlikely (generally speaking) that it's lactose intolerance (not saying it isn't, of course).

If you aren't, then you're probably *******.

South African, so nowhere close - though my ancestors could have been

Delvis · 2 Jul 2013 at 13:34

You could try whey isolate for a bit, expensive and sin though

Supercow · 2 Jul 2013 at 13:53

I'll see if I can push on through without follow through in my work pants for a bit and see how it goes!

Black or white South African?

If the latter, then your genes are more than likely from northern Europe (unless, of course, your grandparents emigrated from China or whatever...).

TPW Locker room discount of 12%...not bad...nothing I want to order though

Whilst that debate will age both within and without South Africa, chances are you probably are not lactose intolerant. :cool:
