Title: Stomach Discomfort After Protein Supplement?
Post by: roll_bigz on August 03, 2007, 09:04:25 AM

Hey fellas.  I'm all natural all the time and training hard.  I usually will do two protein supplements a day at about 45g each.  One is early in the day and one is directly after working out.

Recently, after my early supplement, I get some gastrointestinal discomfort for a little while.  Anyone have this problem, or have any ideas about it?  I take my protein with water, not milk btw.

This discomfort DOES NOT occur with my after work out supplement.

P.S. I know this may be a little off topic for this board, but I hope it doesnt need to be moved as I really respect the opinions of this particular board.

i would try adding something to eat to maybe slow down the digestion process. or shit just switch protein until you find one that doesnt mess up your stomach

try a whey isolate!

its probably the lactose from the whey protein that ur body cant digest that is giving u the upset stomach!

be careful if you switch to soy protein, soy promotes the production of estrogen

ok...UPDATE.

I have discontiuned the creatine for a few days, and kept with the syntha 6.  Pain is gone.  Hmmmmmm.

So I think I'm just gonna play it safe and change my creatine.  It could have just been a bug, but i dont think so.  I'll let you fellas know what happens with the brands of creatine and such

i'm pretty sure that's not true...

doesn't your whey have lactase in it?
