Protein farts

Kintontee Posts: 4 Joined: 2002/12/17	2002/12/17, 04:45 PM I take about 100 grams of EAS Simply Protein a day. It gives me a ton of gas! Does anyone know anything that will reduce gas caused by protein supplements?

I recently dropped milk from my dieting and my digestive system seems to be working so much better now. The annoying thing is, the shakes taste so good with milk and there's not much else you can mix with to make them taste good. I'm using water, powder, and egg whites now. It ain't bad but it's not as good as the milk shake.

As for mix: I've found 50% Soy Beverage / 50% Water really helps with the taste. Not as good as milk, but it'll do. --S

Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2003/01/21, 05:03 PM MVP is a brand of protien. As far as best brands you will have to do some research. Look at the #'s of grms of the nutrients and what percentage is protien and not filler. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back!

This happens to some people regardless, but mine eventually stopped and no longer happens. Oddly enough, it stopped right around the time I ran out of EAS stuff and switched to Optimum Nutrition . . . It never occured to me that there was a correlation, I thought I just adapted to it . . . -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
