Review on 🌱 Garden of Life Organic Grass Fed Whey Powder, 21g California Protein Plus Probiotics, Non-GMO, Gluten and rBST/rBGH Free, Humane Certified, No Artificial Color, Vanilla Flavor, 13.33 Oz by Kassandra Harris

This is all you need in a whey powder. It is a certified organic feed from grass-fed cows. Jersey cows are no less well known for their excellent milk production. I trust the advertising that cows are out on the pasture at least 300 days a year. This is important because "grass-fed food" as a marketing claim isn't regulated by the USDA, so you'll have to dig deeper to find out. This whey is also a concentrate, which some people may not prefer, but it retains all of the natural nutrient compounds (in their natural ratio) that can be broken down with more processing to produce isolates. Chocolate is fair trade and also raw (that's the difference between cacao and cacao, which has additional health benefits over cacao). And the product even has a humane certificate! There's no added sugar either, and the addition of bifido-lactis helps with digestion, which is a very thoughtful addition that makes this whey stand out. While it's possible for a person to be sensitive to erythritol, it's far more likely that gas and bloating is due to the introduction of a new strain of probiotic into the gut. I think this is especially true for people with a poor gut microbiome. Additionally, whey itself has been known to cause bloating and gas, partly because it's so easily absorbed by the body. Hence the bifidolactis. This product made me gassy for a few days, but then my body adjusted and it's not causing me any problems.
