Curious if anyone else are needing to visit the bathroom (starts with bloating/rumbling stomach )after consuming oikos triple zero yogurt/bob red mill vanilla nutritional booster powder?

I was using the chocolate flavor from bob red mill without any issues.
Dannon yogurt was for a change from cottage cheese.
If there are any ingredients that are causing it,I would know to avoid them in future.

    I would avoid the yogurt if it made my tummy that upset. Have you had issues with yogurt before, or had this particular yogurt without the powder?

    This particular yogurt.Pretty regular yogurt eater,haven't had this kind of issues.I consumed the yogurt and powder separately.But today is the first time I had them same day.I was wondering if there was a ingredient others were sensitive too,so that I can avoid products which have them.

    I was pretty disapointed to find out Oikos Triple Zero includes chicory root, which gives me stomach issues. It's the same fiber additive that's in fiber one and I can't stand it. I love yogurt and tried this one at the rec of MFP and it's terrible

    I must not be sensitive to it. I eat a serving of Fiber One cereal mixed into a serving of Oikos Triple Zero yogurt almost every morning with my breakfast, no stomach problems. Sometimes I even have a second serving of it as an evening snack.

    Re: the yogurt - do you have any lactose issues? One thing yogurts have these days is that, instead of letting the yogurt ferment like it should, where the bacteria eats most of the lactose, they stop the process early and add in fillers and thickeners. So there is more lactose in these yogurts than in others. It would end up showing up like increased sugar (not added, just sugars because of the lactose sugar) in the nutritional label. But yogurt that was more fermented would be fine.

    stevia can be an issue for some folks, too

    re: the protein powder - I would compare the two flavors and see what is different. That could definitely be the problem. Check it with cottage cheese, for both flavors, see how that works, too, you know?

    Chicory Root kills my digestive system for hours. Gotta stay away from it altogether.

    It's the chicory root. I can't do it either.

    Yep - it's the chicory root (also called inulin). Some Fiber One cereals and some Kashi cereals have this additive. I have stomach pain with this too.

    Oikos Zero absolutely kills my tummy. I tried it a couple of years ago and had trouble with it, but gave it a try one more time yesterday. The way I have felt ever since is a good reminder to never put it in my mouth again... and I've never had a sensitive stomach. All I can say this morning is "Ouch!"

    Just saw this is a zombie thread..... Oh well...Chicory root upsets me also. I hate it because it's in so many foods that I want to eat. I get bloating, cramping and sudden urge to use the bathroom followed by excessive gas.
