Whey Protein and Phlegm -- Alternatives to Whey Powder?

I've been suffering from excess phlegm for quite some time now. I ran out of whey protein this week and have been feeling considerably better.

I think what this means is, unfortunately because I just bought a new tub of whey, is that I am either: 1) allergic to lactose, which is contained in whey, or 2) whey significantly thickens the excess phlegm, amplifying the congested feeling.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, can you recommend an alternative to whey protein powder?

try pure isolate instead of mixed concentrate/isolate blends. If its that big of a deal, just skip the shakes and eat food. You dont need whey protein.
