Question:
Has anyone tried MYOGENIX protein drink?

I have finally found a protein drink I fairly like. Its really pack with protein 50grams in a 8oz. I mix it with water only. Now my problem is after I drink it within an 1/2 hour I have medium diarrehea. I made only 4ozs this morning( 1/2 now 1/2 later) and I still have diarrehea. Is this common with everyone else when drinking their protein powder? Should I start looking again for a different brand? Thanks alot!!!    — Laura G. (posted on March 3, 2002)

Sounds like there is too much sugar in it and it is making you dump. You might want to check the sugar content and maybe get something with less sugar. If you need a little sweetness, try getting one with little or no sugar and mixing with 100% juice instead of water. Hope this helps!

I drink a protein supplement that has no sugar and very little carbs. Every time I drink it, however, I usually have a bowel movement within the hour. For me, however, I consider this a blessing as I have had issues with irregularity since surgery. If it's not inconveniencing you I wouldn't worry about it - it may be something that simply stimulates your system. Good Luck!!

I saw you split your dose. Good, cuz we can't use more than 30g per serving. ANd you didn't make it up ahead, also good. IS it whey? If so, some people have to go through a bowel adjustment period. So, try even HALF the half serving for a day or so, and build up gradually.

Its me again!! Thought I'd post and give more information In case anyone else answers my question. This protein powder mix has 4 gram of sugar. I think I will start with 1/2 of a 1/2 serving and hopefully start tolerating more as time goes on. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions
