Bloating w/Protein powder & pre-made shakes



Recommended Posts

Anyone or any New Sleevers having issues with Protein powders or pre made shakes causing very bad bloating. I use both muscle milk products & I noticed the very bad bloating after I drunk 8oz of the mixed powder (w/water). The 1st thing I noticed my stomach was increasingly larger. I have not had any issues with gas or gas pain since my 2nd after surgery. .

me too, although not all are as bad for me it's not the milk it's the fake sugars and stuff they put in and also some have fibre added in and they are worst make me look 11 months pregnant (I already look 8 months with my flab :) )

I use it to my advantage though - the ones that make me bloat also make me feel full longer and less likely to want to cheat (i'm on pre op at the minute)

I know that xyletol can be a very affective laxative for some people...could that be something in your shakes causing your bloat?

It's definitely something in the shakes or powder that is causing it

No, that's not the problem. I've tried from 1oz-8oz.

      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.
