Right, GWhitfield62, sugary ones were definately the culprit for me too, i reckon. Were you on the flavoured stuff or plain when it kicked off... and did it clear up on its own or did you have to swap brands entirely?

Right, GWhitfield62, took a few weeks to settle proper, so cant say it just cleared overnight. Were you on a whey isolate or the cheaper concentrate stuff when yours packed up... that tends to be the real culprit from what ive seen.

Right, GWhitfield62, isolate for me, if I recall — cost a fair bit more an all, so galling if it was the concentrate stuff doing the damage instead. Bloody miserable out today too, proper raining sideways, good excuse to stop in and sort me pigeon loft out instead of faffing about at the gym.
