I never found out exactly what it was about that protein powder that made me so sick. Fortunately, I feel much better now. 
I did try the NOW brand whey protein isolate, the unflavored one; half a scoop in iced tea. I SOOO do NOT recommend that - it tasted like vomit! No joking!!! YUCK!!! 
So then I tried half a scoop in plain water. Very soon afterwards, I felt nauseous, crampy, pain in the middle of my stomach again. So I had to return it. Maybe it's because isolate is so highly bio-available? I don't know. But the Body Fortress brand that I get at Wal-Mart has been fine with me.
I am still taking my two BB pills a day, along with the 6 SBT capsules a day. I've been on BB for 10 weeks, and I've grown about 2 to 2 1/2 inches since I started.
I started the SBT almost two weeks ago. I think it was about 5 or 6 days into it when I started having pains and itchiness again. The pains are really deep; and they're nearly constant. And I just noticed the past couple of days that my bra is fitting tighter; and I "fill it out" pretty good now (it's a 32AA). However, my measurements are still the same as they were a few weeks ago. But the fullness and newfound "mini-cleavage" are definitely there! So don't get too bummed if the tape measure doesn't show any change, despite the fact that your bras may be fitting tighter. I remember reading on BB's website that especially in the beginning, growth will be on the inside, and in the circumference; and that doesn't show up on a tape measure. Only later will the growth push you outward. I'm hanging on to that hope!!!
You are lucky you didn't choke to death on those pills! That is scary! That happened to me a couple times, when I was taking the Centrum Multivitamins a couple months ago (I have since stopped those). I unfortunately have to take all my supplements one at a time. And I end up drinking like two glasses of water to get them all down! Makes me feel so sick sometimes!
I don't have a program page yet; I'll probably make one this weekend sometime though! That way I can put all my supplements and exercises and whatnot on there, so I don't end up hijacking your program page.
It's really comforting to know there is someone else just like me going through this same program too!!!
Good luck with the SBT! It helped Faerycat; and so far, it seems to be contributing to what I'm feeling/gaining now (only time will tell if this trend continues); so I have every confidence it could help you too!!! We will achieve our goals!!!
