Does protein powder make gas worse?

I'm 5 days post-op and I'm not sure if this is just post surgery gas or does all this protein make the gas worse?  Any thoughts?  Alice

Are you mixing your protein powder with milk - or have you eating a lot of milk products? Some people develop a slight lactose intolerance after WLS - that could explain the gas .... if not, it could just be your body getting used to its new anatomy.

No, I'm using crystal lite.  I did drink about 3 oz of milk on 2 days and didn't notice any excess gas after it.  You're probably right, it's my newly replumbed system getting use to the protein.  thanks, Alice
