    It depends on your digestive system. If you think you have issues, switch brands

    Sometimes yes.. and super bloated.. Esp if I put it in cows milk and not soy milk.

    My trainer said to try half a scoop and then work my way up until my system gets used to it... Esp because I have a slight lactose allergy...

    I'm new to MFP, but I've been using the same type of protein powder for a good two years now. I find that it doesn't, but I mix it up with strawberries, and water. The vanilla taste is diminished by the berries, and all I taste is a strawberry smoothie.

    Have you tried different types of protein powder? Maybe it's the one.

    I drink at least 2-3 protein shakes a day and this depends greatly on the brand and type of protein.
    I make sure I buy a good 100% whey protein isolate and then I don't have the bloaty/gassy issue.

    If you are mixing cow milk into it and drinking it daily, and never drank cow milk quite that much before, if you are also at least around age 30 and female, it could be more of a lactose intolerance starting. Personally, I haven't had any problems with protein powder.

    Definitely! But, I'm allergic to whey and have issues with soy, so I always figured that was the reason...

    Not the protein powder, but the flaxseed and fiber additives I put in the shake sometimes. :blushing:

    That's why I switched to Whey Protein Isolate. Regular Whey Protein has lactose. I also use lactose free milk to mix it with. Much better now :D
