A member asked:
Is whey protein isolate safe if you have a autoimmune disease such as ankylosing spondylitis? i read online it can cause more inflammation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can I ask: why are you considering whey protein isolate? There is a theoretic risk of an inflammatory reaction with certain autoimmune diseases. If you have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis what is it you are trying to achieve with a protein isolate? Muscle building? Endurance training? I hope you personally have answers to these questions as well as a good understanding of the disease process
