Hello everyone

I was wondering if anyone has had issues with Protein causing gas and discomfort. I have been pretty strict in following doctors directions....and I have been eating only Protein Shakes and they have been contributing to the gassy feeling which is very uncomfortable. Anyone else been experiencing this?

Any comments or suggestions?

Yes, I think I experienced dumping syndrome today because of it. How many weeks out are you? I'm 5 days out, and I may have done it too soon. So,I won't be drinking my Protein Shake anymore for another week or so

I had similar problems early on so I switched to a GNC Isopure powder. The other powders were too thick. I mix this with a lactose free skim and have no issues.

I too have the same issue. I only get gas when I drink a Protein Shake. I bought unflavored Protein Powder to make my own, but the taste is disgusting. So I brought Premier shakes and instantly I get gas and of course the worst place to get it is at work. So, I take my Gas-X to work with me and hope that this will one day go away.

      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...

        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.
