Protein shakes and GAS

I get really gassy from my protein shakes. I use Bariatric Advantage. Anyone else have this problem or is it specific to that brand? Any suggestions for resolving or decreasing the problem?

Try hot water with fresh lemon squized into it. It doesn't taste so great but it helps with the gas pains. A nurse told me this when I had my 2nd C-section & surprisingly it worked. Maybe the protein shake you use has milk, lactose or whey, all can cause gas if your lactose intolerant. I never had a problem with dairy products but since surgery (Jan 29 2013) I can't digest it so well , lots of gas & pain. I keep lemons stocked now.lol. hope this helps. Peace,Mary

thanks Mary about the lemon idea...I'll try it. Seems a LOT of things make me gassy (sorry TMI) but for sure the protein shakes do! I think its the milk...not the powder.

I just drink them and go on because it's the only flavor I have found that I can actually stand the taste of...and I can't stand to make it with water or soy milk.
