Whey Protein Powder, Gas and Bloating

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

One of my favorite breakfasts is oatmeal mixed with chocolate whey protein

powder.

Unfortunately, the protein powder causes a lot gas and bloating. I hoped my body

would

get used to it, but it's been 11 weeks and now I'm guessing it's never going to.

I am lactose intolerant to a degree, although usually my lactose issues cause

gas cramps

in my stomach not gas problems at the other end of my digestive tract. Milk is

what

bothers me most. During my first challenge I ate a lot of cottage cheese and

yogurt, but

no whey protein, and didn't have gas/boat problems, so I'm pretty sure it's the

whey

protein that's the problem now.

I've been using whey concentrate, but after a little internet research I found

that whey

isolate supposedly causes less gas/bloat. So my question for you all is, if

you've had gas/

bloat problems with whey concentrate did whey isolate work better for you? And

if so

which whey isolate did you use? I don't drink shakes, but I like to use the

protein powder

for my oatmeal and for recipes like the EFL pumpkin cheesecake.

Thanks in advance!
