cant stomach most protein powders? im not lactose intolerant

hey guys

Would really appreciate some help to why I can stomach most protein powders. also it makes it a alot worse when i do a shake, compared to when i just make it as a sludge.

Could some1 help me how this could be? Also do you have any suggestions to what I can do about it?

Im not lavtose intolerant at all, Im fine with all diary products...its just protein powder that screws me.

nutra innovations just released ProSync with Rikkunsh1to, which aids in efficient protein digestion. I have the same issue with egg protein and this will help

what are you mixing with your protein and what type of protein are you consuming?

 

[Zariph]

what are you mixing with your protein and what type of protein are you consuming?

its the same no matter what..casein, whey concentrate, whey isolate..mixing with water or milk, same... I thougt that it could be some of the thickening agents in the powders maybe?

Humapro would be my option for a product for you to try it. It is a non lactose protein based supplement that will ALLOW you to get all your protein needs in with the excess calories.

We have recently been doing a ton of logs on here, check them out for yourself

I get that. I was giving you another option since you can no longer stomach protein shakes

Just giving you an option for you to figure out what works for your body bruh

ok thx, bur rbh i got a few brands that i can stomach just fine..just wondering what it is that is doing it for me with most proteins

I think the little enzymes you have get diluted too much with lots of water. Try taking digestive enzymes with your shakes, ones that are mostly for protein and do not contain betaine HCL as that would give you heartburn.

 

[Jiigzz]

Do you experience digestion problems with other protein sources? How many scoops do you have?

havent tried any other types of protein supplement wise..its the same no matter one or two scoops

ah thx could try that...why would betaine hcl give me heart burn tho?

 

[machinehead]

ah thx could try that...why would betaine hcl give me heart burn tho?

Because hcl + water = acid

If you have it with solid food, it is a lot less likely.

Maybe if you told us which proteins you could stomach, and which proteins you can't, we'd have a better shot at figuring it out.....otherwise, we just have generalities to go on and we're basically guessing.

I think Jiigzz is asking about any other sources of protein that you've had problems with, not just powders. Like beef, eggs, chicken, fish, milk, etc. Maybe you have a food that upsets your stomach whenever you eat it....

i did ask that but OP said its every protein, but this is a shot in the dark

He implied that, but if you look two posts above yours, he says he can stomach some brands just fine.

Your stomach might be off. Try some good probiotics to help break it down.

 

[The_Old_Guy]

Go Vegan - Pea and Brown Rice. See what happens. And yeah, if your stomach is fine digesting a steak - I doubt enzymes or pro-biotics are the answer.

 

[Zariph]

thx for all the replies guys! Im fine with steak chicken milk etc etc...

Brands that I can stomach..tho sometimes onlu at 1 scoop :
Pes select
Iforce protean
Ai sports 100 whey..

some that I cant:
trutein
muscletech both iso and phase 8
Mts, some flavors a worse than others tho
BPI both iso, whey hd, best whey...BPI is one of those who hit me hardest
mutant pro100

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT A STEAK???????

 

[Zariph]

what lol? I said im fine with it...its only whey protein

 

[The_Old_Guy]

Sorry, didn't see where you answered that, my bad. I think it's all the fillers/sweeteners/thickeners. I'd like to see you try a 4 ingredient protein that contains only:


And choosing Natural Flavoring and Stevia. Don't ask, I can't tell you where on here even by PM. Google

yeh thx man, also thought it would be something like that..will do a google search for this

 

[Zariph]

oh btw, stuff like Tr1umph and ergonine I can stomach just fine at 1 scoop...

 

[Jiigzz]

Well if you can stomach milk but not powders, I'd say that it is the added ingredients that cause an issue. #detective

See a doctor for food allergies testing, we're meat heads not gastroenterologists

hehe thx a lot guys' was hoping that maybe some1 had the same issue and maybe figured out what was wrong

Of the 3 you listed that are OK (PES, Iforce and AI) - can you rank these from best to worst?

I have a theory on what the order will be, want to see if it works, because there is one ingredient that is present in all but 1 of the products you list as hurting your stomach, and only listed in 1 of the 3 that you said don't hurt your stomach. And the one that you can't handle that doesn't have this ingredient has a lot of other ingredients that I think may hurt anyone's stomach, haha.

well, From best to worst
AI could do 2 scoops
Iforce was slightly easier on my stomach than pes..tho both were fine at 1 scoop

 

[HIT4ME]

I thought you might put Iforce as #1, PES as #2 and AI as #3.

All of the products that you mentioned hurting your stomach, with the exception of Phase 8, contain Xanthan Gum. Xanthan is a corn product, and Phase 8 does contain some corn ingredients, but also has stuff like baking soda, etc. which I think may cause some issues.

AI is the only product on your list that you can tolerate that uses Xanthan - so I find it interesting that you put that as #1. Iforce doesn't use any gums at all, and PES uses Guar Gum.

Many of the products using Xanthan also combine it with Cellulose Gum. I'd suggest it was a tolerance issue with the gums, since side effects of these ingredients include GI disturbances and flatulence, etc. - but the AI product throws that theory for a loop.

dude I was thinking the same. Ive tried making protein fluff with xanthan gum which really gave me the runs...but maybe AI uses a very little amount of xanthan gum?

 

[HIT4ME]

dude I was thinking the same. Ive tried making protein fluff with xanthan gum which really gave me the runs...but maybe AI uses a very little amount of xanthan gum?

The ingredients listed in Protean have no gums though, so I don't know why two scoops would cause an issue? And if that's it, how is AI's better than IFN's when AI has it and IFN doesn't? Even if AI uses very little, it can't be less than none.... There really isn't much additional "stuff" in IFN's protein.

But I would try what the suggestion from Old Man - try the 4 ingredient protein and see how that works. It will at least narrow any issues to just 4 ingredients. It could be almost anything they have in common - ACEK, Sucrolose, whatever "Natural and Artificial Flavoring" is code for, etc.

appreciate the help man... only did 2 scoops with iforce once, and I guess i just was afraid that it would give me bad stomach, so maybe i couldve went with more scoops...but again, thx man

 

[machinehead]

Did you figure this one out?

 

[Zariph]

Did you figure this one out?

sadly no, so atm i just stick to what i know

 

[Zariph]

maybe i figured it out...i dont react well to sucralose...maybe pes iforce and ai has very little amount of sucralose in them? but are there any good tasting whey proteins wihtout sucralose lol?

 

[machinehead]

APS IsoMorph has very little sucralose and tastes good.

**** the protein bro just buy cartons of eggs whites and drink them, 7g of protein per quarter cup, you can just drink raw...doesn't even taste that bad
