restless legs and protien shakes :(

[steve_bmw]

I have been using an american gluten free protien shake N_large 2 for a few months with out any issues, however I chenged to reflex instant mass uk made
just after christmas and ever since I started on the reflex I cant sit still.

I dont notice too much in the day its at night when it starts, when watching tv, my legs get a burning feeling and I just have to get up and walk around, and again when I go to bed I am moving my legs like I am walking its that bad and it lasts for hours.

I did stop taking it thursday last week and have had no jumpy legs.

What can be in this reflex that is causing me the problems so I can avoid it in the future?

Could it be the egg whites, gluten? whats gluten

Thanks chaps.

Can't help with the shakes, but I've had "the crazy legs" for years and it's a bh. Good luck getting it sorted.

Hah, gluten does this to me amongst other nasty things like shortness of breath, joint pain and stomach cramps. Can't eat dairy either. Have you thought whether it might be the milk doing it too?

It's 1/100 apparently for the gluten BTW.

hi, its defo not milk, I have been eating/drinking milk for years with no problems, its only when I drink the reflex shake.

I want to know whats causing it because if I try another brand that I can get localy and it does the same ill have to live with it until its gone because its too expensive to throw away.

The n-latge2 has no yeast, wheat, egg, glutens artificial colours or preservatives.

The reflex is full of wheat, barley, and gluten

I have also been drinking milk (and eating gluten) for years with no problems and then about a year a go boom! it all went downhill. It's a typical pattern apparently.

Probably more likely to be the gluten but why not cut dairy out for a week to see what happens?

BTW That deadlift bar is bloody brilliant, thanks again for the tip, turned my workouts around!

Try a glass of slimline tonic water, the quinine is meant to help restless leg.
