Issues With Protein

Has anyone had issues with protein? I have narrowed down my bowel issues to protein. I believe it is whey protein that is making my intestines hurt. I have had horrible diahrea since increasing my protein to the recommend amount. It is making my days seem very long and frustrating.

I can not do dairy, so I use NO WHEY veggie protein. The dairy and whey cause me to stomach pain, swelling is horrible.

Do they make a veggie protein shot? I just can not handle the shakes most taste horrible to me.

I mix sugar free strawberry yoohoo and fatfree

Sugar free things give me migraines. I found a beef protein shot at gnc - plan to try that and hope I can choke it down.

You are not alone! I narrowed my intestinal issues to the protein shakes as well. But after 6 weeks I didn't have to drink them anymore. I used Boost Glucose Control. Thankfully it's only temporary. Best wishes!

I have read that we can become Lactose intolerant for a period after surgery. They suggest you switch to Soy protein and then later try the whey again. Have you tried soy protein? There are soy protein powders that you can add to other foods such as unsweetened applesauce or other mushies if you're allowed to have them.

Yes! I'm at 3 weeks and still no luck with protein. When I drink it, shakes or juices, I just gag for hours and become nauseated. The smell of it makes me sick to my stomach. I never thought I would run into this problem! Ive bought so many I need to find a way to get samples. :)

Does the boost drinks taste chalky?
