A member asked:
My son had a protein powder mix he's 14 for the first time ever it caused him to vomit twice & diarrhea is this normal?

No: It is not normal to have that kind of reaction to a protein powder. Check to ingredients for any possible food intolerances. At age 14 i would recommend him to get his protein from natural sources than from powders.

Not a normaresponse: This is a difficult question to answer without a full history. Protein shakes do not typically cause vomiting and diarrhea. Perhaps he had a viral illness at the same time and the protein is not to blame, or perhaps he has allergy to an ingredient in that particular brand of protein. If his symptoms worsen or do not improve over the next two days seek medical attention.
