Protein shakes & fluids

[madisunshine1 128]

Just like we aren't supposed to drink and eat at the same time, anyone know the rule with Protein Shakes and other fluids? Is it the same? I would realllllly love some Water right nowwww but just drank a Protein shake. Thanks!

the rule at the clinic I use is to wait a half an hour after the Protein shakes as well. not really sure *why* though. I am sure it varies by practice.

I've eaten and had Water just sip it slowly and see how you feel I don't think this rule applies to everyone.

Too much Fluid at one time can cause discomfort as well. If you're just drinking a small amount to kind of wash down your shake I don't see the issue.
