i get the same thing when i'm on a high protien diet. i couldn't figure out if it was the diet itself or the protien shakes, til i looked at the amount of fiber that was in the shakes. maybe that has something to do with it.

Your body might not be used to digesting that much protein. If you are new to this then it's fine, if you've done high protein diets for a while then you probably have an allergy of some sort or a digestive problem.

Yes your body probably isnt used to that much protein, or your taking too much, i know if you start getting the runs its a sign to cut back on the protein.

i've never heard of anything like adding digestive enzymes. what sort of enzymes did you have in mind?

this morning i ate a bowl of oatmeal and a protein shake for breakfast (using milk for both) and i haven't been "regular" all day. In the past i have rarely eaten breakfast, so i'm having a hard time pinpointing whether eating early (for me, usually around 9AM) is causing me stomach problems
