    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.
