Stomach Issues with Protein Powders

If you consistently have stomach issues when taking a protein supplement, it's likely due to whey protein concentrate.
www.bodybuildi...
Whey protein comes from cow's milk. There are two major kinds of protein in milk, whether it be human, cow, goat, etc: Those two proteins are whey and casein. In cows milk, casein makes up the majority of the protein - about 80%. Whey makes up the remaining 20%. Whey protein is the soluble portion of milk protein. To visualize this, think of the liquid that sits on top of yogurt when you open a container of yogurt... that's whey protein!
Whey protein concentrate goes through the least amount of processing of the whey proteins. The filtration processes involved to create whey protein concentrate are usually gentle forms of filtration, known as microfiltration and ultrafiltration. This leaves a protein powder that is around 70-80% protein, with the rest being carbs and fat.
Whey protein isolate is a purer form of whey protein than whey protein concentrate due to additional processing that involves either longer filtration times or additional steps in the manufacturing process, such as cross-flow microfiltration or ion-exchange chromatography. The further processing can create a whey protein powder with a protein concentration higher than 95%. Due to the lower carb and fat content, it's a great whey protein to use when dieting and is also great around workouts because it is digested and absorbed quickly to help build muscle.

Then why when I drink milk nothing happened but when I drink protein shakes it kill my stomach?

[@borealmat1889]

Me too, even with vegan protein shakes

[@idontreadreplies.252]

exactly. I only get it with protein powder. And I never used to get it aswell. Now if I take one sip it just goes to shit. It's fucken annoying

[@joaovilaca1436]

I'm also looking for an answer. At first, I could put two scoops and drink it with milk and feel nothing. After sometime, even 1 scoop with water made me feel bad. I stopped taking whey for some week or so and drank it again with mil but only one scoop and I didn't feel as bad as before, but it wasn't like the first times I tried.

[@ahmedgalal305]

I will add my comment maybe someone would help us, i tried the following products: isolate, lactose free, flavorless and always get the same issue (bloating, gas, diarrhea) i also knew that these issues over time can give you sleep problems and cortisol spike which will lead to unnecessary water retention in your belly

[@joaovilaca1436]

Just a little update: I hadn't felt bloated in a while. It suddenly stopped.

[@IntegraDIY]

I definitely get more gassy and noisy stomach 😩 but I see gains so there is no stopping me 🤭

[@JanetJenkins]

I have been using Isopure Whey Protein isolate for years. I use the one with no artificial sweeteners and it causes me zero issues.

[@tyecornell9919]

Wow thanks for the quick and easy tip. Also your tattoos are really really sweet!

[@DrJimStoppani]

Glad you like them!

[@robd1859]

It's not the stomach issue I have with it. I can easily take digestive enzymes the problem I have is that I have been trying different protein powders for the last 25 years and every single protein powder I try one scoop and it shoots my heart rate through the roof I feel like my arteries are tight and it gives me severe anxiety and panic attacks. And I can eat grilled chicken and tuna fish and they call me down and just give me energy and I think they relax my arteries. But protein mix feels like it's tightening my arteries cuz my neck and forehead get really tight and my heart gets to beating super super fast. And it gives me a panic attack. I would like for you to explain that one. And I'm not the only person that has problems with their heart beating faster on protein powder.?

[@arjundiwaker3449]

Yeah I have a friend who went through the same thing. Doc told him to ditch the protein powder. He's much better now off the protein powder

[@hairyfishcakes]

Lactose intolerant maybe 🤔

[@abumuaz2331]

Seem like you have mast cell histamine intolerance. Histamine control heat circulation via heart rhythmic. Dr Beth o hara is the Best Doctor for this issue

[@zpchiteka7970]

It also raises BP. Stopped completely

[@addiel9299]

I tried a Gatorade protien bar (isolate) and I was in agony the next day. Concentrate doesn't bother me

[@1984gat]

I increased my pro jym to 4 scoops a day and now I'm getting extremely constipated.

YOU NEED MORE FIBER.. BLEND IN CHOPPED UP DATES OR/AND FIGS... RAISINS WILL DO TO FIX YOUR PROBLEM... (PS: ONLY 2 OZ MAX IN A 40-50 GRAM 'GARDEN OF LIFE' RAW SPROUTED PROTEIN ) :D ... [ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST] !!

Thank you. Love your videos. Short and straight to the point.

[@neillattz]

Ok so you said what’s bad, now what’s good? Like what is the good type of protein powder?

[@dragonbot2038]

Sorry, I have trouble with isolates as well.. sticking to meat and fish.

[@NapoleonicWarrior]

I drink a lot of water and mix my protein with skim milk. It helps me.

[@paulcolloff3617]

Love the intro... stoppani number1

[@cac3994]

I know muscle milk is commercialized and for rookies but i loved the taste as a teenager and in my early 20s and never had problems, im 32 now and just started creatine 3 days ago and just bought a container of muscle milk and made a shake tonight and got the runs an hour after consumption with lots of gas (sucks cause i was gonna invite a female companion over tonight) and this never happened to me before, granted i did use skim milk to mix it but maybe tomorrow ill try just water and suck up the bad taste

[@cac3994]

Update (not that any actually give a s*** lol): used the same serving of muscle milk I used the previous night EXCEPT i didn't use a whole cup of skim milk and just used water and had no gas or runs of any sort, so water is the key unfortunately it doesnt taste nearly as good.

[@DaminionC]

@@cac3994 i appreciate your update, i also just started protein powders and had the runs bad and i only used water. in my 20's i never had this issues , i'm 33 now and maybe it's just us getting old xDD

[@miami_vibes6955]

That explains a lot

[@wholesalefabz9118]

Sir,can I drink whey protein isolate before workout at night? Because,whenever I drink whey protein post workout ,after that I have my carb/fat dinner,the next day I feel heat on my face,head and stomach.

Not helpful even lactose-free is giving me indigestion

[@jonasirw1]

Appreciate you putting PhD on your name vs insisting on being called “Doctor” with no degree designation… So many chiros trying to pass themselves off as MDs by never including their actual degree designations hoping to pull the wool over peoples eyes and appropriate the credibility of someone who went through med school and years of residency.

Even the plant.protein ones hurt my stomach...

[@theinsomniumofthenight5932]

Would substituting milk with water in mixing help?

I just started taking milk and optimum nutrition serious mass gainer for 1 week and it’s been giving me bad stomach pain... it hurts .. Any tip? Should I just take it and let my stomach get used to it ? Or I sub the milk with water

[@rbonixwr9399]

​@@K3vin0204bro i am getting a pain in my right lower back or at kidney place after 2 day use of protein powder. Is this due to protein or something else?

[@KetoCarniCajun]

Being a PhD, could you name another animal that drinks breaat milk after it's weaned and could you tell us the benefits of partaking in cortisol from that milk ( the stress hormone ) because mine concerned, these are not happy cows??? Big fan of yours for workout tips and advice but I'm questioning that Dairy has any place in a human's diet also question mark"

[@MoSec9]

Well, there’s no other animal that is smart enough to keep cows or goat for milking, bottle the milk, and store. Secondly, my old dog and cats love milk. Thirdly, I bet you if we didn’t interfere and wean that animal the would be enjoying milk for a long time. Fourthly, I don’t care if another animal drinks milk or not because not everything we do other animals do. We are very different from animals because we have options. It’s such a bad argument repeated by vegans all the time.
