RE: Is it that protein that makes me feel this way?

[Guest guest]

what kinds of protein are you eating? I experience this exact problem

but only with soy based proteins. I avoid them at all costs..luckily

whey protein is fine and animal proteins equally easy on my system.

Somehow I knew this was what you were going to ask. I finally

convinced my husband to take some protein drinks to work since he

works out in the heat all day and wasn't eating anything. Last night

he finally confessed that as good as they taste, it sure gives him

the worst gas for about an hour. Good thing he eats them at lunch <G>

I know a lot of people who don't handle protein or protein powder

very well. Sometimes adding flax all at once can have the same effect

also

Could be a number of things, but what I found w/ me is that any of

the myoplex lite or regular shakes or ML bars do it to me. When I

eliminated these from my diet, the gas went away. Not sure what's in

them and not in protein powder (which doesn't cause the same effect)

or whatever else that might cause it.

Good luck -- happens to most of us, so don't worry...

Hmmm...that's a good question. I do suppose I eat some soy protein, but not

that much. I have some great soy pitas and eat soy meat-substitutes on

occasion. I'll keep an eye out for that, though. Thanks a million!

Wow, I am so glad that I got 3 responses in 2 minutes to that question!

It's not that I am so much bothered by it...not like it's my favorite thing

in the world or anything, but as long as it's normal and I'm not about to

combust, I'm fine with it. I will try to see if toying with

soy/flax/Myoplex (though yesterday was the first time I had a Myoplex Lite

shake) will help in reducing this problem for awhile...at least during the

work day!

Thanks a million. Have a great day!

I always wondered about that too. Because before BFL I never had

this problem - So do what I do and just blame it on the dogs!!!!

Glad to hear it! Well, no, I mean, I'm not glad per se, but I'm glad to

know I'm not alone in this protein overdose!

Have a good one

I haven't read all the responses to this question yet but I read

somewhere that it is undigested protein that causes this. The same

article stated that the body can only process about 20 grams of

protein at a time so if you eat more(I'm fairly guilty of this

myself) some will go undigested instead of being used to build muscle.

I had terrible gas for almost all of my first challenge. I ate dairy

enzymes, other enzymes, pro-biotic pills...nothing seemed to work. Then

one day, it just disappeared. I have absolutely no idea why. Before BFL,

I was a low protein vegetarian. So, maybe my body has just learned how

to digest it?

Is it that protein that makes me

feel this way?

Hi all, now here's a question I am so embarrassed to have to ask, but I

can't go on any longer without asking you all....you know so much about

everything else, give this one a whirl!

Ever since the end of week 1 I have had the worst gas in my life! Even

when

I did weight watchers and was eating inordinate amounts of fiber it

wasn't

this bad. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I will say straight

away

that before BFL I could easily have gone days, weeks even, without

eating as

much protein as I eat on a day on BFL - make that in a meal! Could it

be my

body trying to deal with the sudden increase in protein I am eating? Am

I

just nuts?

Please advise...my tummy, my coworkers and myself will all thank you!
