    I used to drink protein shakes (herbalife) and found that if I made them up with soya milk instead of cow's milk that my tummy was a lot happier.

    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.

    Agreed try almond milk or soy or coconut. Also the protein powder itself may be a milk derivative and so you should try a vegan protein powder. They can be pretty gritty but hey that's not end of the world!

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

    NOPE. You can't do anything about it. Protein makes you fart! :tongue:

    But the lady at GNC said that when you have a lot of protein and then DON'T USE THAT PROTEIN TO BUILD MUSCLE. Then it gets wasted and that means more farts. But if you DO use that protein to build muscle, (as in lift heavy weights, low reps) then the protein is used for muscle synthesis instead of contributing to the fart-factor.

    Haha fart-factor... lol...

    Anyways I don't know how much of that is broscience and how much of that is true, but I've found that if I eat lots of protein and LIFT, then I feel great ... and if I eat lots of protein and DON'T lift, then I have lots of stinky farts. :tongue:

    This exact thing happened to me and taking pro-biotics got rid of it. I did not add milk to my protein shake, so I attribute it to the Whey already in my protein powder. Good luck!

    I agree with the other posters, maybe you're slightly lactose intolerant and its the milk thats the problem. I only discovered this after drinking way to much milk w/ shakes too. Now I use vanilla protein powder mixed in coconut silk, its delicious.

    I have found that using almond milk intead of cows milk helps a lot! I actually blend mine into a smoothie with strawberries, half a cup of almond milk, blueberries and kale...then I add water until its the consistency i like. For some reason mixing it with other foods and skipping the milk helps me ... :blushing:

    How much protein are you eating relative to your bodyweight? If it's causing digestive upset (farting), you're probably eating more protein than your body can digest. If you don't digest it, it will make you gassy. Simple as that. Eat less protein.
