Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your insight. I had other medicines in the past that when I first opened it, the inner seal came right off just from unscrewing the lid and I had no problems with the medicine; so I guess I was just trying to figure out why this Whey Power Plus stuff was so rancid? 
But you're right; while I was very, very sick it totally felt like food poisoning. I checked the expiration date, and it says 6/2012. But given the really icky smell, and how sick I got, obviously it's not "good" anymore, for whatever reason. I entertained the possibility that maybe I just suddenly developed a severe allergy to milk, as opposed to just lactose intolerance; but that theory was shot to heck when I was able to have a whole serving of cottage cheese last night with NO problem.
I'm still feeling unwell (slight nausea, stomach pains, cramping), but if I get brave enough later, I will try my old brand of whey protein again (but just a little bit!). If that goes down fine, then I will definitely be contacting Avalon Essentials (BB) about getting a refund for that Whey Power Plus. It cost me $75 and it made me so dang ill; I'm not paying for that!!! :angel:
Thanks again you guys. I hope I can get back on my program really soon, cuz it was actually WORKING for me, in the 5 short weeks I've been on it! Although if it turns out I just can't do ANY protein powder, I'll just have to eat as much protein-rich foods as possible, and look into getting the NB system since so many of you have had such great results with it (hey, at least THAT shouldn't make me sick!).
