Is anyone here on New Directions products?

Options
I have been on the the VLCD for a little over 2 months. Everything has been going well and I have lost 28 lbs. Just about a few days ago I started getting stomach pain and feeling bloated. I stopped taking them and ate regular food and noticed I was still bloated. So, I tried another shake and again the pain and bloating. Anyone else experience any pain or bloating after consuming these products?

    Mention this symptom to your doctor.

    Looking at the ingredients to some of the shakes, I see that whey protein is a primary ingredient. I have a dairy allergy and some of my symptoms are pain and bloating.

    Thanks! I will call my doctor tomorrow. Could someone develop an intolerance to something in the product over time?

    New allergies can develop at any time. If it's a very low calorie diet though, you could be experiencing other issues. See your doctor, and ask for a referral to a registered dietician. Get some professional guidance.

    I am on a very low calorie diet and am being monitored by a team of coaches dieticians and drs. I was sent to get an ultrasound done. Found out I have gallstones. :(
