Toot, toot...here I go again!
I had to find a protein drink that worked for me, not against me. I was getting so gassy everyday, because I was using a varity of protein drinks so I wouldnt get bored, I sounded like a moped with a bad muffler. Now I am happy to say, I am on one kind ( premier rtd from costco) and having no problems.

These are them. I was buying all kinds of tubs of protein mix, but these "cheapy" one work best for me. I think I get 2 boxes for the same price as I was paying for one tub.

I started with them right after surgery but started adding other kinds of protein drinks. I was using isopure, syntrax necters, and I was miserable. I eliminated all protein drinks, but my hair started falling out again. So I added them back. About a month ago, now hair loss has almost stopped and thankfully the gas. I am doing 2 a day. I use the chocolate and vanilla both are good.
It could be those shakes - why not ditch them and eat tasty protein instead? I bet that alone would help a lot, and you would enjoy the food more as well. Your hair is going to come back regardless of whether you drink protein shakes or not. Losing hair is a common part of rapid weight loss. It will resolve.
Another possibility is bacterial overgrowth in your colon. If this is the problem, a short course of flagyl should clear it up. Probiotics are good, but not a guarantee. Talk with your doc about giving this a try.

Get tested for c-diff.
I went around and around and everyone kept saying I wasn't eating right...dammit, I ate nothing but pure meat and it didn't help.
A few rounds of flagyl later, look at me. Normal.
I don't care if you don't eat nothing but chicken breast and mayo all day and night, if you have an overgrowth of bacteria in your gut you are going to have gas.
