WTF? Whey protein and farting.

[djbr]

Since I started taking whey protein I started to fart A LOT. Needless to say, that a shame to my game!

I take 1 scoop per day (approx 28.4g), and I'm doing Max-OT.

On my week off, I stopped taking it. No more farts!

My Whey Protein is made by Optimum Nutrition (ON).

1 scoop per day? BWHAHAHAH THat's pansy shyt.

Come back when you're hittin 4-5 scoops a day at least

Bodies respond differently to different substances. Try a different brand of whey to assert my opinion.

me and my lifting partner have the same experience. the protein doesnt fully get absorbed, so it breaks down in the intestine. the result is gas. my reccomendation is taking it later in the day. i have found it generally takes 6 hours, so ill just let it go to work while im asleep lol.
o well good luck man

WTF? The human body can only process roughly 23 grams of protien at one time.......even if you're spreading out these 4-5 scoops that still amounts to 290 grams of protien a day in shake? Add to that the minimum of 3 meals you should be eating (cus you need whole foods not just protien supplements) thats like 420 grams of protien a day.......dude, chances are you're gonna crap and piss out most of the protien your taking and end up in the hospital from kidney damage with all that nitrogen you take in.

But to answer the gas question.....go to gnc and get these little chew tabs (I forget what they're called 'gingo papae' or something) but they taste really good and they help with gas......and they help your body process more protien

I'd like to see your sources for that post, fonz. By your logic, according to Diesel, many of us here are slowly killing ourselves by taking in 2 scoops of whey for a post-workout shake.

Haha, old wives tale. Tell you what, why don't you go lift abs everyday as well

Find me a article from a well known medical website and I will believe differently.

Check the lactose level in the supplement you are taking, you want one with a low lactose level. Are you lactose intolerant?

My nutrion teacher told me this in class and I was also told this by the guy who works at gnc......but I just read an article on bodybuilding.com (link was too long) that said that this information may soon be outdated and proved otherwise so I'm not gonna stick by what I said earlier.....thought I still believe WITH a high protien diet that 4-5 scoops of protien A DAY is a little excessive and expensive unless you're 220 lbs+

I don't know about the science behind it, but everyone ive seen this happen to got over it. I guess you body adjusts to it.

 

[englishcrap]

I gave up taking the stuff as I would end up letting off wind in the office and as you can appreciate my coworkers were not amused.

 

[sandinista]

i haven't taken the stuff for a while.

But when i did, it went a lil further than farting.
About an hour after drinking the stuff my stomach would start making gurgling sounds, & later, i'd get mild diarrhoea! But i'd feel completly fine after that.

Is that normal?

6lbs, 20 bucks, that's all I have to say
