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

Lack of fiber.....

You need to be clearer. Are you constipated (can't go) or have diarrhea? Lactose intolerance would have the opposite effect as constipation.
If it's diarrhea, try taking lactase enzyme with the shake. That worked for me. It's an over the counter product in most pharmacies.
For constipation, I agree you have to up your fiber.
