Protien & Gas

[CHIQUITITA]

I don't mean to sound gross but I need some serious advice or feedback here. I've started to incorporate protien shakes back into my diet and with it I've developed some major gas issues. In the past I've tried different brands of protien but each one has the same effect on me. I've tried beeno to help rectify my problem but it only made me sick. I believe I had an adverse reaction to it.... I had never puked soo hard in my life after taking it. Anyway, is there something else I can do or take so I'm not walking around in a cloud of dust everywhere I go? Or am I going to have to live with being a human stinkbomb till I complete my diet down prep?:argh

Bump for more answers...

Your not overdoing it are you Chiquitita? Maybe too much at a time? If your body can't process what your taking it will bloat you and cause gas.

Maybe try a soy protein too if your currently taking whey or one with low lactose. See if this helps at all.

chiquita I have the same problem. the only thing i did was try and ration out the protein throughout the day because you re body can only process a certain amount of protein at a time and then you "dispose" of the rest. GL!

You should be OK, I have it on good authority that girls don't fart.

To much protein will give you gas,ones that tend to have to much sweetner do that as well.

I don't know how much further to space them out. My first one is primarily when I wake up the second is just after I work out and the third is before bedtime.... all my other 3-4 meals are real food.

I've started using a two different custom blend protiens from trueprotien.com and I'm starting to wean myself off my metrx mrp's.... I've noticed with the mrp's, my stomach is much more sensitive and reactive. Thanks for your input Rondo.

Yeah, protein does that to me too. I take a whey/casseinate/soy blend. It's mostly whey. 150-250g per day split over 3-4 shakes. I bust ass all day long. It smells terrible. I just don't care.

Try picking up super enzymes from NOW brands. They help with the digestion. Aslo as a female try not to take in more than 25 - 30 grams in one serving or it will lead to protein not being properly digested and reaching the bacteria of the large intestine (thus how gas is produced). Some proteins brands have added digestive enzymes such as ON's 100% optimum whey.

I get bad gas too when I take protien supplements.
