    Default Eye Twitch caused by Whey Protein?

    I can't find anything online linking a sudden case of eye twitching to taking a whey protein supplement but I thought I put this suggestion out there and see if anyone else may have experienced this.

    I have never had an eye twitch last this long and happen this often (I've had a twitch before maybe last 10 minutes once or twice a year but this is day 2 of pretty constant twitching like 17 times a minute).

    I am under absolutely no stress, hardly ever drink alcohol or caffeine and certainly never over-drink and I'm in great shape for a 35 year old woman. I usually run 7 miles every day and decided I needed to start adding more protein to my diet especially right after my morning run.

    I bought Super Advanced Whey Protein powder at Walmart and used only 1 scoop in a glass of milk. It was super yummy but almost immediately (like 10 min later) my eye started twitching and hasn't stopped. Just thinking perhaps one of the amino acids or other ingredients in the powder would have caused this. Any thoughts?

    Well, maybe you can elaborate your problems and disorders to the related medical specialist and seek at least a second opinion from the related medical professionals to find and work out something positive for you.
