Protein and Diarrhea

[jonbmd]

I need help!

When ever I try to increase my protein intake with a protein supplement I get the shits. It doesn't matter if I use whey, soy, or egg protein powder. Anybody have experience with this or how to increase my protein intake without getting the shits?

bro, i used to have that rpoblem with shakes. then i found out i was lactose intolerant. i use protien powder that is lactose free, msot whey powders are, and that is the solution. if you feel bloated and have serious diarrhea, then you possibly could be lactose intolerant.

Thanks for the reply, I think I am lactose intolorant but the problem is I get the shits even on lactose free soy or egg protein! How am I supposed to gain if I cant get enough protein?

Twinlab proteing kills me. Try eating rel food.

I guess you are not taking the shakes with milk... there is no point buying lactose free sups if you take em with milk! unless it's lactose free milk

I know where you're coming from. I just got over a bad case. What helped for me is making sure that I wait at least three hours before my next meal. You could be overloading.

Could be how much protein your taking at once.
Reduce the amount and try having the shake with
some solid food. Whey does great for me but I get the runs whenever I try to bump up how much I take.

I think the last thing he needs is MORE water Maybe get some delicious Fiber supplementation... metamusil may help get you regular again. Other than that, just have to deal

Here is some sick shit.
I am lactose intolerant like no one else.
So I would mix water with Cytopro WPI.
This still gave ne major shits.
Until one day I woke up late for work started rushing to get ready.
My wife asked me if I wanted her to make my shake.
I said sure why not.
I went to work and I'm drinking this thing and it tastes great.
Couldn't figure out why, and no shits it was incredable.
I called her to find out what she did.
Turns out she used MILK instead of water.
WTF I can't even eat ceral without my whole body killing me.
M.D

Thanks for all the advise guys, I think I'm just going to cut out protein powder completely, save my money and eat as much as i can (it is just so much more convinient to drink your protein rather than having to cook all day)

 

[MR. BMJ]

Trust me, drink more water with these high carb/protein shakes. It isn't the water that is giving you the diarrhea!!!

yeah, I would say more water could help. The shits can be caused from dehydration. The more water you drink, the better, and whoever said that water was the last thing you need obviously doesnt know shit! (get it)

 

[trial0r]

dude its your regular bodily response to high protein intake, another price you gotta pay for getting big. id suggest investing in some nice fluffy tp.

If I don't increase the amount of protein I am consuming slowly I have a huge problem. I used to make big jumps in protein consumption -- found myself in the bathroom most of the day. Now when I want to increase, I increase by about 20 to 25 grams a week and don't have much of a problem.
