Protein drinks that don't cause gas?

I'm drinking Worldwide protein and Atkins advantage; both are giving me a lot of gas. While off work I didn't notice it so much, because well, you don't have to hold it in when you're at home by yourself (no nice way to say that...) But at work, I'm sitting all day in the office, and by noon I feel like a helium balloon. Has anyone experienced this with protein drinks or do you have a suggestion for a drink that causes less gas? Thanks, Sharon P.S. I just bought a can of Designer Pure Protein this morning; don't know if that's any better.

Hi Sharon- I have used the Designer Whey Protein Shake (chocolate) myself and have no ill effects from it. I currently use GNC's 100% whey protein (choc.) and that does not give me gas either. I mix mine with 8oz of skim milk to get 8 extra grams of protein. My surgeon actually told me to stay away from the Atkins protein drinks because of the gas. To be perfectly honest, I add a couple of splenda packets into my shake in the morning to improve the taste. It's not bad to begin with, but it does need a little 'kick'. I hope this helps....and here's to no explosions in public!!! -Cheri

I hope I am not starting to sound like a broken record, but I like the Nectar Protein very much, especially the Fuzzy Navel flavor... No problems and it tastes good. You can get it a number of places but bariatriceating.com is one... Jo

Im with you on this on I enjoy the Nectar proteins too, I have 4 tubs of them in different flavors

Try the GNC 50 grand slam! It is not bad tasting and you get 50 grams in a can. I have had no gas trouble with it. However if you keep having gas from whey protein it may be that you are dairy intolerant since whey comes from dairy and you may want to try soy protein. Wendy

MY shakes of choice are: READY made advant EDGE shakes i get at walmart and when in the mood for fruity type drink i use the fuzzy navel drink too! GOOD LUCK just keep trying till your not so gassy! ((HUG)) LISA 310/221/0nederland

Check the ingredients. If casinates are listed, that is where your problem most likely lies. Casinates can really give you "music and roses", as I've heard gas called on another group.

Hi Sharon, I'm with Jo Ellen on this one. I live by Nectar- made by Syntax. You can buy it everywhere. I get mine either at the Vitamin Shoppe (in the store or on-line) or at Max Muscle. I love the Fuzzy Navel that she mentioned. Recently I have started using the Lemon Tea all of the time. I think there's only trace amounts of caffeine, so it's okay to my knowledge. When I go to school in the morning, I have 24 oz. styrofoam cups that I've bought with straws and lids. I make my protein with 2 scoops with about 12 oz. of water, although you cand make it with 4 oz. per scoop as well. By the time I add lots of ice cubes, I'm ready to go. Many places have sample packets. I also used MAx Muscle's chocolate for the first 6 weeks or so. It's 30g of protein per 4 oz. of water. Good luck and I hope this helps. Kerri

I DRINK AMPLIFY BY RELEASE. YOU CAN USUALLY FIND IT AT GNC. THE CHOCOLATE AND COOKIES AND CREAM ARE PRETTY GOOD. THEY ALSO HAVE IT IN VANILLA AND STRAWBERRY (BUT I DIDN'T CARE TOO MUCH FOR THEM) EACH DRINK IS 20 GRAMS OF PROTEIN AND YOU CAN USE EITHER MILK OR WATER. NEVER HAD ANY GAS WITH THIS. GOOD LUCK, DAWN

Love the Nectars!!! I get mine from Bethsproteinboutique.com. My new favorite is Verry Berry Cherry!! Tastes like good old fashioned red Kool-aid! I can make a slushie in my Magic Bullet, or just shake up with ice cubes. No gas. A scoop and a half is 30 g.
