We CAN use soy protein, it is just not as good for us as whey protein. I think you will have to ask your nutritionist how much MORE soy you will have to drink to make up the difference.

Are you sure it is the whey that is causing the problem? The "Florajen" is no longer helping?
Maybe you ARE becoming lactose intolerant.....again, call the nutritionist and see what they recommend.

Tell someone that you love them!

No the florajen is not working, now today I have not had one protein drink and not smelly gas, so I do think it is the protein, and I do love my protein drinks,
Yes I am going to put a call into my Dr. and see what they have to say,
Now where can you get the soy protein?

Hey Janet, as we spoke about this matter at the support group in May. I have been doing much better about my gas also. I have been staying away from most diary products. I use EAS protein from Walmart. Cheapest place I can find. And I don't seem to have the gas. I just checked and it is made from soy protein. I have asked a few and Lactose Intolerance seems to happen as we become older and wiser.

good luck

Sherry

I am lactose intolerant and use Soy Protein 95 by GNC. It is 130 calories mixed with water 5 g carbohydrate 2 g sugar 25 g protien.

I was having gas (flatulance issues) myself and believe it to be a combination of too much carbohydrate, although my dietician would like me to eat more fiber. and the alcohol found in artificial sugars used to make protien bars and the like. Since I have gone back to protien drinks and limited meals to meat protiens and vegtables, I have stopped the stench.

best wishes Janet.

I use the EAS protein from Walmart as well as their soy milk. I do not have any problems. You may want to try this. I love their vanilla soy milk.

Thanks Nancy, Did you tell the DR. that you are using soy, and if so do we need to drink more because it is soy? How was your labs?

I guess I never thought to say anything to Dr McClellan. I make ice cream and have that twice a day and use 3 heaping scoops of protein as well as 3 1/4 c. milk for 4 servings. So I feel I am getting a good amount of protein.

My labs have been fine. I do eat other forms of protein in my food. I eat lots of chicken and dont eat any other meals that do not have at least 15 to 19 grams minimum a serving. I also have some Kays Naturals Protien snacks occasionally and they have 10 g protein in them as well as I drink Special K H2O whch has 5g protein. So I try to supplement where ever possible.

I second the motion to talk to you dietitian or nutritionist. Frankly honey we get GAS.. There are some nights I'm happy I sleep alone. There are LOT of things that can cause excessive gas.. Check with your Doctor check with the dietitian etc.. It might turn out to be something you hadnt thought about. For me I was getting TOOOOOOO much fiber I cut back on the fiber and things are better. Also are you eating yogurt??? I have at least one serving per day and that really helps at least with the oder.
