So I just got my unflavored Unjury protein in the mail... was so excited! Started adding it to shakes, yogurt, oatmeal, pudding, etc. It tastes pretty good... so I thought "score"...finally I will be able to get all my protein in without actually having to eat chunks of meat (I hate meat). However, second day into it, I noticed that I am getting very bloated, gassy, and uncomfortable around the lower abdomen. Is igt just me or has anyo ne experience this with protein powders? Thank you!

I haven't had that particular problem, but I've noticed that every time I eat a whey Protein bar, or a whey Protein shake, I get little sores on the roof of my mouth. Guess I'm allergic.

Silly - are you lactose intolerant? The symptoms you describe sound like it. Since whey is from milk protein, it could cause a problem. Just a thought........

I agree, it could be a lactose issue.

I do find a lot of Protein makes me feel very gassy and bloated. It was much worse when I was first banded, but since my body has adjusted to my new way of eating, it's a lot better.

Nope, I am not lactose intolerant. I've been drinking milk and eating all sorts of dairy all my life. Not sure what to think about it.

Do you use a blender. I started feeling that way even though i always use onE. I started feeling very bloated. Maybe stop blender for a short time

Maybe it's a bit too much of a new product too quick? Also if I'm not careful with fruit sugars my stomach reacts. Just some thoughts...

That's a really good idea. I do notice that when I blend shakes instead of using a shaker cup, I'm totally gassy and uncomfortable. Though they taste GREAT from the blender....with fruit, etc., I pay a price.

I've been pretty much living off Atkins shakes (banded Sept 19th) and get gassy and bloated. So uncomfortable, but only have 5 days left on liquids. Take Gas X each morning before going to work and that seems to help.

I was drinking bariatric advantage meal replacements before surgery without any problem and they are yummy! Post surgery they give me severe diarrhea about an hr after I drink them! It took me forever to figure out what was causing that but Adkins shakes and several other whey protein based shakes do the same. It seems like post surgery I have become what I like to call "lactose sensitive"! Try Genisoy products
