Anyone else having bad diarrhea from protein shakes?

I'm not sure what to do. I'll call my Drs office in the morning. It seems that it is the actual protein supplement that is causing the issue and not just the milk because I switched to unflavored protein with broth today instead of milk based shakes. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with whey powders. I switched to premier protein ready made shakes and have not had any problem since.

Trying ISOPURE clear zero carb protein drinks from GNC per NUT's direction. Now the problem is just that I don't like the taste. I can live with that though, and it does seem like my tummy is tolerating these better. They're crazy expensive though.

OMG yes, it's not all the time but it is enough. I can hear my stomach bubbling lol. I am only 5 days away from surgery and it's been challenging. I cannot drink milk so I use the Almond Dream but I think because the carnation essential powder with no sugar added has milk products in it, I'm still getting the stomach issues and diarrhea, gas at times. This is definitely challenging.

I had diarreah so bad I was rehospitalized. Eventually, I was put on a powder form of Cholestyramine called Prevalite. It worked fantastic in stopping the diarreah but you probably will need to eat protein instead of the shakes. If you have problems and need to talk, email me at smilesweet@aol.com
