anyone else get gas after drinking them? I use skim milk and 1 scoop and it seems to cause gas for about an hour and my stomach feels funny for about an hour. anyone else have this issue or is this normal?

    Maybe its a cheap protein powder? Are you still gassy?

    You might need to consume more vegetable. It's normal, but you can prevent it. I take 160-190 grams of proteins per day and with fruits and veggies, I am not as gassy

    I find if i dont drink enough when i have protein this happens to me.
    Try either a glass or two of water before, or add in a glass of water to the shake.

    I usually just add water to my shakes

    I have had it with my old shakes I used to drink and it got to the point that it would put me into pain. It is probably just the mixture/formula that they use. I wouldn't give up, I'd try a different shake maybe. I use GNC Pro-Performance and I have good luck with it.
