Anyone else having bad diarrhea from protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

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?

All whey and Ceisian based Proteins did that to me :(

I like pea, hemp, soy...I usually go with anything marked vegan because they like to sneak whey into everything.

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
