Protein Shakes = Nausea?

Does anyone else get nauseated from protein shakes? Could that mean that I'm having a bad reaction? Or is it just hard to digest? Any advice would help!

Are you drinking the ones with milk in them?

Is it the shake? Is it what you're mixing it with? Is it the temperature? Cold drinks made me nauseated in the beginning.

Look at all of the variables. I developed lactose intolerance post op so my shakes AND the milk I was mixing them with were doing a number on me.

First step is to try and isolate the issue.

I recommend finding a site that does samples of Protein and trying a bunch of them until you find one that you like the taste of that doesn't make you ill. It's possible if you keep trying!

I now drink my protein with hot coffee or tea and sometimes soymilk. I still cannot drink any milk, even lactose free, without experiencing nausea.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried both mixed with water and skim milk and I seem to feel sick both ways. Once it's digested, I feel normal again, but by then it's time to drink another one! I'll try different temperatures. I have a sample of unflavored protein I might mix into soup and see if that sits better. Thanks again!
