Question about Protein
Question about Protein
Since I've been dealing with CPPS I haven't been able to keep as active as I once was, and have seen my muscle strength deteriorate over time. As part of my plan to try to get back into shape I was thinking about taking some protein supplement, and mix it in a smoothie with fruit and vegetables. Does anyone know if increased protein can cause CPPS symptoms to increase, or does anyone have any experiences (Good or bad) with protein supplements?
Age: 43 | Onset Age: 33 | Symptoms: Burning in urethra and tip of penis at meatus. Lower back pain and occasional dull ache in groin & testicles. Pain in coccyx and left side buttock when sitting | Medication: Quercetin 1000mg, Omega 3, Turmeric 1500mg, Shilajit Extract 400mg, Ashwagandha 920mg, Glucosamine/Condroitin | Helped By: stretching, rest, light exercise, sitz baths | Worsened By: sitting for long periods of time, driving, stressful situations | Comments: I'm 90% better and don't experience much burning anymore, but get the occasional flare. My main problem now is the sitting pain, which can be quite debilitating at times. I'm sure it's something to do with the exercises & stretching I've been doing as I didn't have this problem a year ago!
Re: Question about Protein
Protein supplementation has never been an issue. It’s a macronutrient and very important for cell maintenance and recovery. I’d just stay within the RDI limit (taken from healthline):
“The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound.”
I personally stopped using protein supplements and eat mainly sardines and vegetable proteins.

I have protein powder with almond milk every morning, been taking it for 10 years, dont notice any correlation to CPPS or anything.

Hey make sure it is gluten free. Gluten and CPPS can go hand to hand with symptoms increasing in pain and inflammation.
