Has anyone had issues with Protein? I have narrowed down my bowel issues to protein. I believe it is whey protein that is making my intestines hurt. I have had horrible diahrea since increasing my protein to the recommend amount. It is making my days seem very long and frustrating.

I can not do dairy, so I use NO whey veggie Protein. The dairy and whey cause me to stomach pain, swelling is horrible.

sugar free things give me Migraines. I found a beef Protein shot at GNC - plan to try that and hope I can choke it down.

You are not alone! I narrowed my intestinal issues to the Protein Shakes as well. But after 6 weeks I didn't have to drink them anymore. I used Boost Glucose Control. Thankfully it's only temporary. Best wishes!

I have read that we can become Lactose intolerant for a period after surgery. They suggest you switch to Soy Protein and then later try the whey again. Have you tried soy protein? There are soy protein powders that you can add to other foods such as unsweetened applesauce or other mushies if you're allowed to have them.

Yes! I'm at 3 weeks and still no luck with Protein. When I drink it, shakes or juices, I just gag for hours and become nauseated. The smell of it makes me sick to my stomach. I never thought I would run into this problem! Ive bought so many I need to find a way to get samples. :)

Does the boost drinks taste chalky?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
