My budget is limited but I’m also lactose sensitive. Isolate is expensive but supposedly easier to digest. Which one makes more sense?

If you’re lactose sensitive, isolate really is easier on you because its lactose content is very low. If budget is tight, you can try concentrate with a lactase enzyme. But with noticeable sensitivity, isolate is worth it.

I also got bloated with concentrate; it stopped with isolate.
