Whey Protein And My Stomach Do Not Agree

Anyone have any problems with whey protein? I only have 1 shake in the morning each day, Optimum Nutrition, but every afternoon I end up having a lot of gas and it's pretty bad, Gas X doesn't even help much. I'm thinking about trying Plantfusion protein, but was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions? I don't think I'm lactose intolerant as I can drink milk, eat cheese, etc. but something has to give and I know I can't get all my protein from food alone.

Try mixing it with juice instead of milk and see what happens.. I was never lactose intolerany until I was banded,

i get almost all of my protein from food, and only have a homemade protein shake maybe once a week. I drink a "Boost protein drink" almost every A.M. then add in a during the day more protein sources like peanut butter, chicken teriyaki meatballs, beans , nuts, hard boiled eggs, turkey burger, fish etc. Every little bit helps . Good luck !

Though it is still being debated as to whether "soy" is a complete Protein...it may be worth investigating. There are many soy based products which also provide a good source of protein. I'm just not certain that it is considered to be the complete protein that whey is...

Best Wishes...

Buy yourself a small Whey protein that is egg protein if the milk product is bothering you. It will be worth it to your maintaining your daily protein total.
