Anyone else having bad diarrhea from protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure what to do. I'll call my Drs office in the morning. It seems that it is the actual Protein supplement that is causing the issue and not just the milk because I switched to unflavored protein with broth today instead of milk based shakes. Any ideas?

All whey and Ceisian based Proteins did that to me :(

I like pea, hemp, soy...I usually go with anything marked vegan because they like to sneak whey into everything.

I had the same problem with whey powders. I switched to Premier Protein ready made shakes and have not had any problem since.

Trying Isopure clear zero carb Protein Drinks from GNC per NUT's direction. Now the problem is just that I don't like the taste. I can live with that though, and it does seem like my tummy is tolerating these better. They're crazy expensive though.

OMG yes, it's not all the time but it is enough. I can hear my stomach bubbling lol. I am only 5 days away from surgery and it's been challenging. I cannot drink milk so I use the Almond Dream but I think because the carnation essential powder with no sugar added has milk products in it, I'm still getting the stomach issues and diarrhea, gas at times. This is definitely challenging.

I had diarreah so bad I was rehospitalized. Eventually, I was put on a powder form of Cholestyramine called Prevalite. It worked fantastic in stopping the diarreah but you probably will need to eat Protein instead of the shakes. If you have problems and need to talk, email me at smilesweet@aol.com

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
