What is this???

I usually have a protein shake for breakfast every morning.  About 10 to 15 minutes after I fini**** I start  to get hot to the point of sweating or almost sweating.  I feel fine, I just get hot.  I am almost 3 months out and wonder if this happens to anyone else?  It will last for 30 minutes or so, then it just goes away.  I wouldnt say it's a problem, I just want to know why it happens.  Is it my body starting up to digest the protein?  I have never dumped or got the foamies or vomited or had any other complications, just this strange occurance.  Iam not diabetic and not lactose intolerant.  Any thoughts?  

Thanks

It almost sounds like a niacin flush. Are you taking any vitamins with your protein shake?

I agree with Gina - I've had the "niacin flush".. not a good feeling.  It was in my B complex...

Not sure what a niacin flush is. But I do take my two gummie vitamins, my b-12 and 2 fiber gummies about the same time as my shake...what's a niacin flush?

I get this too!  So weird sometimes.,  Whats a nicin flush?  I take my vitamins before I drink my shake..

Niacin is B3 and when it hits your blood stream it can create something like a hot flash and even a skin rash. Both usually go away quickly and aren't dangerous at all.

Sounds just like what I am going through. Thanks guys! I am glad I posted this b/c I have been worrying about it and so has my husband!

UGH! I remember when I was taking Miacin and that is exactly what had happened to me too. Good for cholesterol though, icky for you.

That sounds live very mild dumping to me. Sometimes the sugar in milk can make me have hot flushes and cold sweats, especially if I also add fruit to the shake.  If I up the protien to sugar ratio, and use unsweetened soy or almond milk, it doesn't happen.

also, are your gummie vitamins sugar free? If not, that sugar added to the shake sugar might be causing it.
