Anybody else have the same problem like mine with proteinshakes??

[Semidevil]

Hi,

I have a situation here. I've been using the protein shakes, and everytime I finished drinking it, I get constipated. I don't quite know what is the problem here, or how to fix that problem.

Can the experts out there tell me what is going on? Maybe the protein shakes that I bought are expired?


Please help anyway you can. I hate going to the can about an hour after I drink the shakes.

thank you

are you lactose intolerant?

Hm....no clue

Hi,

Thank you for replying Krono.

I'm not sure if I'm lactose intolarent . However, I've been told that I don't have enough fiber in my system. Is that one of the reason why I need to go to the can an hour after I drink the Protein Shake?


What would you recommend that I should do to remedy this situation?


thank you

I read that gastric emptying is delayed when there is a ratio of carbs < 75%.

It maybe bullshit.

Try adding some flax seeds to the shake. Try eating a lot more fiber like salads, stir fried veggies, fruits.

Thank you singleton,

Instead of eating, can I drink something that has alot of fiber in it?


thanks

First you need to find out if you're lactose intolerant. Drink six ounces of milk or a bit less and see how you feel afterwards. If you are lactose intolerant, you'll be shitting quite a bit soon thereafter. It took me six months to figure out that I was lactose intolerant, and that was 11 years ago.

What type of protein drink are you taking??

Dump flax seeds in your shake.

There's your fiber.

Taking a crap an hour after drinking really wouldn't be constipation. I once went a freaking week.
Heavy Poo-age on the other hand sounds like your stomach is reacting to an ingrediant. Check to see if your ingesting the following:
Sucralose (in Pinnacle 150 poppers)
Aspartamene (in a lot of stuff)
Milk Products (could be product in protein bar)
Creatine
Sugar Free Gum
