Gym rats does Whey protein cause outbreaks?

I wanted to know if anybody here consumes whey protein on a daily basis? I have genital type 1 and before I got diagnosed I was very much into bodybuilding and would consume 2 shakes per day . I want to know if anybody knows the effects of whey protein to the virus. I know it is high in arginine but how much truth is there to this ? Also peanut butter does it trigger herpes? I would appreciate it if anybody from experience can give me any input on this . Thank you very much.

I'm always working out... I've never really had issues with protein.. I drink at least once a day... if anything the benefits of being active and going to the gym outweigh any diet concerns. For me two things cause outbreaks stress and lack of sleep.

I have a lot of issues with whey protein! It was causing me all sorts of skin conditions (eczema, bubbles, rashes, itching). Why? I'm lactose intolerant, as a lot of people. A protein shake (whey, casein) has tons of lactose, and if you're allergic to it, this is what will happen. You body is triggered against what it sees as an attack, and it is only normal that this immune response may trigger a herpes flare. Genital type 1 is not very recurrrent, I believe. If you have this skin symptoms they are not herpes, but allergic reaction to the lactose. If this your case, you can substitute whey for egg or pea protein, or similars, with no lactose. Good luck

      Hey @JS.245 and welcome to the website. The pictures aren’t that suggestive of herpes. Hard to tell from the pics what’s going on, but that could be a number of things. Are the larger bump bubble things persistent? What you have in the pics is hence independent of your herpes status.  The test results are inclusive - most people test over 5 if they are infected.  Do you have a history of oral cold sores?

      Hey, just got a STD test a while ago after noticing these showing up at the base of my penis, but its been about 5 months since I was with someone and now these are showing up. It doesn't hurt nor do I have any other symptom that I know of. I'm trying to see what's up before I go to the doctors because I don't have insurance and I'm very anxious about the situation. the std test was expensive as is.

      Just another set of supporting articles to a potential release date in 2024 giving hope to sufferers whom the standard of care is currently worthless: Promising Progress in clinical trials for Pritelivir (herpescureadvocacy.com) HSV Treatment Readies for Approval — Precision Vaccinations News

      I have not found a cheaper source for Amenalief, and I've searched high and low. I have a thread called "Pritelivir at Last" you may want to follow as I have a strong belief that It may be available to the public in the summer of 2024 and as I find new info, I update the thread immediately. Now, may I suggest a combination of drugs that several others on this forum have found to be very effective over acyclovir alone? Myself and others have found that taking 40mg of omeprazole (Tagamet @dissolvedo2 ) with 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the morning and 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the evening alone for 3 days have had profound effectiveness at stopping outbreaks in their tracks. I'd like to remind you that I am not a doctor and at best I am personal researcher for what works for me. I @lw@ys share my findings with the forum in the hopes to help others alleviate their suffering. There is another drug combo that I have tried myself as well as others on this forum have tried and that I personally feel is a much more effective for myself. This combo is 1 gram of activated charcoal with 1-gram of valacyclovir in the morning followed by 1 gram of valacyclovir in the evening alone, again for 3 days. I have found that this has reduced my outbreaks to almost only once a year and they are mild at worse. Again, just a reminder that this works for me and may not work for you but I always feel that i have to share this with anyone that cannot get this virus under control so I hope my findings can help those of you who cannot achieve relief with the standard treatment alone. The stronger anti-virals come with risks and if I can help anyone avoid those risks then by all means I feel I have done some good in this world. I only ask that you let me know if either of these suggestions work for you so that I can document it in my notes. Good luck my friend!
