Whey Protein Causing You Lower Back Pain?

If you recently began taking whey protein and you are noticing a pain in your lower back, you’re not alone. I first began supplementing back in high school. Like many folks, I wanted to gain muscle mass, and bulk up. Everyone wants to feel good about themselves, and like most guys, I wanted the those big muscles to impress the ladies with. Coach always told me, “no pain, no gain,” and I guess he was right. When I began to supplement with whey, I noticed a slight sensation of pain in my lower Back Pain. After a few days, this pain intensified to an indescribable level. If this has happened to you, then you know what I am talking about. After talking to my friend, Sean, a personal trainer, he told me about how I may be experiencing kidney problems, because of the protein powder that I was supplementing with. After discussing a number of different possibilities, he finally asked me how much water I was drinking, while I was supplementing with protein. I told him that I was drinking 8 glasses of water a day. That’s when he knew there was a problem.Supplementing with whey protein seems to be totally safe, unless you don’t follow a few common guidelines.
