Suggest Alternative Remedy For Oral Lichen Planus

I am 52 - exercising 5 days a week - wanting to get a protein to drink after exercise to build muscle strength and I have heard that neither soy or whey in these drinks are good for me. Can you recommend a product? Also, I have oral lichen planus - this is an autoimmune disease I understand - is there anything that I can do other than topical products?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. you can use egg proteins particularly white portion, riice protein, casein proteins if you are not comfortable with soy or whey. for lichen planus, topical medication is the best choice since it doesnt cause much adverse effects. other treatment modalities includes intralesional injection of steroids, mouth rinses containing steroids or systemic steroids. i advise to take topical only because it wont disturb the systemic status of your body. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
