Does whey protein powder give you gas?

I had a shake made with protein powder and almond milk. Ever since I feel like I've been inflated like a balloon, and, well, the rest would be TMI! So could it be the whey protein? I don't usually have a whole serving of powder, just a little mixed in different foods. What is your experience?

    I'd say first check if you have food allergies. Depends on your system. Everyone is different. I'm fine with whey protein, but it's a different story with beans though

    I wish. I have to go to the convenient store to get mine. 5 dollars a gallon is too high!

    when i started working out and taking whey, i was farting like mad loool

    it took a month before my body got used to it

    at one point i was using Vega thinking a plant based protein would be easier on me but turns out pea protein not only gives me gas but gives me the worst cramps.

    For me some do and some don't so it's a bit trial and error! I've really only found one brand that my stomach couldn't take and it took about 3 days without any protein powder at all for it to settle down. As soon as I had a bite of their protein bar I knew which one the culprit was...not good!

    Cause you're not supposed to be eating it in the first place.

    The cheap Whey concentrate gives me gas.

    I recently switched from another brand to Designer Whey and seem to be having a lot of digestive problems because of it. I don't plan on buying it again.
