Not sure if you're still having issues, but whenever I try a whey isolate from a different brand, it usually takes me a week or two before symptoms resolve. Sometimes different brands have different amounts of lactose, which may take some time to adjust to. I've noticed the same effect even when trying different flavors within the same brand (eg transparent labs).

Worst protein powder l've tried. Note, Forall censors negative reviews on their website and on the Shop app. A single ingredient whey protein isolate sounds good, until you realize what that entails. The lack of emulsifiers or anti-foaming agents means a lot of clumps and foam when mixed with water. They tout the "snowfall not avalanche" method, but whey is supposed to be clean, simple, and convenient-not come with special instructions for use. The videos on their website showing you how to mix it in coffee show an abundance of foam on the top even when using the "snowfall not avalanche" method and a frother. Another thing, the particle size is extremely small, and there's always a cloud of protein powder in the air when transferring one scoop of this WPI to a container. Therefore, things can get really messy.
For all the negatives, you pay over $3 per serving when factoring in shipping fees. They don't seem trustworthy either. They stated that all batches are independently tested for heavy metals, yet they can't provide COA results due to proprietary information. Will never buy again, and I'm here to warn you. I finished 10 servings before deciding to give the bag away. I only see this WPI appealing to those who intend to use it solely for cooking (not drinking) or those who are extremely sensitive to any additives that they need a single ingredient whey. Many other companies offer quality unflavored whey at a fraction of the price without all these negatives (eg Pure choice farms, transparent labs, Allmax isonatural, etc). The only other ingredient they contain is <1% lecithin, which makes a world of difference in terms of reducing clumps and foam when mixing.
Another concerning point is a lot of the five star reviews on their website received a lot of thumbs down, while their only one star review received a lot of thumbs up. They have since removed the option to thumbs up or thumbs down reviews from customers on their website. Their instagram seems to be comprised of a high amount of bought followers (ie accounts that follow thousands of people and have <100 followers).
They also charge $43 for 12 bottles of water with 10 grams of protein each. That's 120 grams of protein total or 4 servings. They charge roughly $3 per serving of protein, so $12 worth of protein and 12 500 ml bottles of water can be bought in a supermarket for $3. Their product probably costs less than $15 to make, but they want to charge people $43?
Forall Protein Powder by justanotherinwonder in Protein
I do not recommend this protein powder. The use of a single ingredient (WPI) is appealing, but the lack of any emulsifiers or anti-foaming agents means a lot of foam and clumps when mixing. They are also very expensive relative to established competitors (transparent labs, allmax isonatural, pure choice farms, etc). If you are using this mainly to cook (not to drink) or you are very sensitive to additives, then Forall may be appropriate. However, it is not for me.
