    Crop Dusting. Blame the dog, its all good. That or embrace the gas and use it as a weapon against all who oppose you.

    Try increasing it slowly, like others have said. I eat a lot of protein bars/shakes AND lots of beans and I don't have an abnormal amount of gas and it doesn't have an odor when I do. You're probably just taking in more than your body can digest right now.

    I use GasX sometimes when it is really bothering me, otherwise if it is just mild gas I take a chewable Maalox (the mixed berry kind, they're actually good).

    I call it multitasking. You instantly feel better while pissing someone else off. It's a win-win situation really.

    . Now I use vanilla protein powder mixed in coconut silk, its delicious.

    COCONUT SILK? WTH??!! What is that and where can I get it? It sounds DELISH!!!

    How long have you been doing the protein? Is it powder? If so, give yourself some time... I did a cleansey-thing a few mnths ago and started with protein shakes and man my gas was baaaad... but after a week or so, my body adjusted and all was well.

    Lots of water also usually helps keep things flushing!

    I was having a similar issue and started taking a pro-biotic it helped some but not totally. I recently experimented with a lower protein intake (around what MFP recommends) and replaced all the shakes and meat with lots of fruits, veggies, and only a little meat. My stomach issues are gone, I feel much better with more energy and my mood is happier. Just my experience and I'm sure I'll get blasted for daring to say anything opposing high protein.

    This is going to get pretty bad pretty quickly!

    *on a serious note: If you are mixing your protein powder with milk, you could be lactose intolerant.

    yea i do think i am sensitive to milk,i use fat free milk,but still..ill try it with water,thank you! :D

    Honestly... it has to be a lactose intolerance.

    The other thing to consider is the ingredients in your protein powder. Some artificial sweeteners give me terrible gas (as does HCFCS). If I use powders with certain sweeteners I have this um... fragrant.... problem even if I make shakes with water.

    MamaKeeks, look in the dairy case at the supermarket, near the soy and almond milk - the product name is Silk PureCoconut. So Delicious makes a good coconut milk as well.

    For the OP, I agree with just about everyone else. I'm lactose intolerant, and that's one of my symptoms. Swapping out milk for water or a non-dairy milk may help, but be aware that most protein powders are whey, which is milk protein.

    Does anyone have brand recommendations for protein powder that aren't either whey or soy based? IS there such a thing?
