Anyone get stomach problems with protein drinks?

  • I bought some whey protein mix at the store and have been drinking shakes instead of snacking. I mix a scoop with milk. I don't know if it is a component of the mix or if it is too much milk.but I get gassy, bloated. I was wondering if anyone else had that and what you did
  • No I just tried the one. I will compare it to others next time. Maybe it is just the brand
  • Are you lactose intolerant. I was told whey was better for lactose intolerance but even a small amount will give me gas, bloat and even cramps. You may want to consider other options if it continues with other shakes
  • You could be like I am and can't tolerate artificial sweeteners which are often in those protein drinks. That is why I had to stop taking them.
  • yes. I was fine at first and I preferred milk over icky soy and aspertame.. but dang i am having pain especially in the morning
  • I've never had any issues with protein drinks in general, but some of the due make me gassy... and I mean HORRIBAD gas enough to make the dogs leave the room. :-| I try not to drink them when people will be around...
  • You might have an issue with whey. Even if you can drink milk just fine, having a higher concentration of that component of the milk might bring up an issue you don't normally have.

    I'd say try some soy protein, or vegetable/hemp protein isolate and see if that helps. There are lots of options out there.
  • i am very lactose intolerant and allergic to any kinda of artificial sweetener so i use unflavored soy protein by now foods, works great and tastes great!
  • Stomach issues
    I wish I only had gas!
    I've had constant diarrhea since I joined "A Better Weigh" on December 07, 2014. Ive spoken with the coaches every week. Each has offered a different suggestion:

    Stop the magnesium tablets.
    Cut the salad amounts in half.
    Stop the salads all together.

    I've lost 16.4 lbs., from reading others' posts, I would have expected to have more fat gone by now. Especially since I have the 2x daily diarrhea.

    I am so concerned that I moved my scheduled colonoscopy up. I just got the results on Friday. I'm fine. There are no problems or issues that would cause this.

    The doctor asked if I ate a lot of fiber before the diet, my answer was yes. But, I have not eaten so much meat per day in years.

    So, since, physically, I'm ok, I am wondering iif anyone else experienced this?
