Question:
Every time I have a Protein drink with Whey, I get painful gas....?

Every time I have a Protein drink with Whey, I get painful gas. I've tried using Gas-X & drinking the protein drinks with Lactaid, nothing has worked. I get the kind of gas that extends my stomach & is incredibly painful. PLEASE, any ideas? I want to get my protein in & don't know what to do! Help! Anyone know of any good soy products that would work?    — LionGirl2k (posted on March 4, 2003)

How are you mixing your protein drink? Are you using milk or water?

does it contain artifical sweeteners?? like asparthme, sucralose, acesulfame k, sorbitol, manidol? all of these can and do cause gas! specially the asparthme! its the worst for it!

hiya. i use both a whey and soy protein powders. the soy is Jarrow's Iso Rich Soy Protein Powder and i get it online at www.vitamintrader.com it is formulated to withstand temperatures past boiling and freezing so it's ideal to cook with. please look on my website for recipes and other information about which supplements i use. good luck, kate www.geocities.com/katebme2002
