Hello all,

Before surgery, I found a great Protein shake with 30g of protein. Loved the taste and all was well. Since then, I've done my best to drink 2/day. I always drink 1. I don't care for the taste nearly as much now, but hey... 30 g! Starting this week, whenever I drink 1/2 of 1, I get HORRIBLE Gas pains... like in the floor holding my breath. Gas X helps the pain, for a while, but now the pains come back. This time they were in my new stomach. I could rub under my breast bone and move the air around. I used to drink them from a straw... I know... horrible me (missed that part), but now I've been drinking them slowly from a cup. Anyone else had this issue or any suggestions? Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Just wondering if you are referring to Premier Protein Drink? If so, I know they contain whey carbonate instead of whey isolate. From what I understand whey carbonate is harder to digest and that could be causing the gas problem. Other people have drank this protein with no issue, but you may not be able to digest them anymore. Also I've heard that even though they contain 30g of protein, you are only getting a portion bc your body cannot break the whey carbonate down to absorb all the protein. I am no expert, this is just info I have gathered in my journey. Good luck, hope you get it figured out.
