Whey Protein Powder Allergy

Whey Protein Powder Allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies whey (a milk-derived protein) as harmful, triggering reactions like hives, swelling, digestive distress, or anaphylaxis. Unlike lactose intolerance, it involves an immune response. Management includes avoiding whey-based products and opting for plant-based (pea, rice) or hypoallergenic protein alternatives. Always consult an allergist for diagnosis.
