Protein shakes and stomach ache

Does anyone get a stomach ache after having their protein shake? Or did you when you first started drinking them? I've noticed that when I have mine my stomach feels off... I read online that you may just need to adjust to the high co contested protein, so I'm curious to know if any of you ha this reaction.

That's what I bought but I had milk this weekend and I was fine. It's only when I have these protein shakes.

I have no side effect to my regular 30g protein drink, but if I try to add more protein (via powder) to kick up my protein intake, my stomach is not happy and the bathroom becomes my contant companion for the next few hours. =/

Hmmm I wonder if it really is my body jut adjusting. I had my endoscopy last week on top of starting the protein shakes so I think it was a combination. I had another protein shake for breakfast this morning and I only had a tiny feeling of nausea so I'm leaning more towards a reaction of the endoscopy and slightly towards adjusting to the protein.
