Dry mouth

[rapred44]

I'm curious if a thirsty, or dry mouth feeling, is a side effect of whey protein? I've been on/off of whey for a few years now, but the last 6 months or so I notice a horribly dry mouth, especially on days when I lift super heavy & take some extra whey. I'm just curious if it's the whey, or if something else might be going on?

what are the ingredients in that whey protein?

It's definitely possible. I always recommend eating real food over protein powder.

I agree with @cbbram, moderate eating won't hurt.

If it didn't happen before maybe you've changed brands.
