Intestinal bloating

[DrDarkMatter]

hi all, I am a home workout guy, cant afford a gym atm. I do a 5 day free weight work out.

My question: I noticed that when I started taking whey protien shakes after workouts I was getting very bad intestinal bloating and puffyness just below my belt line. It was pretty uncomfortable, so I stopped taking it.

Below that I was talking. but I have tried other shakes like Red 8 protein shakes with the same results, I really love the shakes but I dont like the bloating.

Biking is 20 - 25min in duration each day.

My thinking was that I was getting too much protein and I was putting on fat instead of burning it and hence the puffiness and bloating. I don't think this is the case now, but can anyone help me try to understand what and why this is happening?

thank you.

Maybe you are lactose intolerant?

Try Isolate or a different protein powder.

I find some protein powders (usually the cheaper ones) give me bad bloating.

hi, no I am fine with Lactose, I always take these with water as well, I should have said that, sorry.

I dont know about Red 8 but the Punch supplements should not be cheap ............I would hope lol :shock:

Try a higher quality protein powder.

Should reduce your bloating.

good lord... this is such a rip lol! worse than weight gainers perhaps. works out at $75 a kilo and consists of only 18% protein.... 73% carbs. not saying you don't need the carbs post workout but save yourself a tonne of money by just getting a proper protein powder (good ones are not only cheaper by half the price but also more like 80% protein content) and having fruit juice or bananas post workout for the carbs.

recommend serving = 4 scoops = 60g protein + 234.4g of cheap carbs - the bulk you are putting on probably has a lot to do with excessive caloric intake (maybe you didn't count all the extra calories from the carbs in this shake).

i remember having that terrible bloated feeling at times while i was on gainers too and soon as i switched to proper whey proteins it went away. i'm not sure the exact source of the bloating, i'm pointing my finger at one of the many cheap carb sources they throw in.

thanks very much for the replies, I guess my questions give away my noob status as far as supplements is concerned lol

I will try as you all suggest, better quality

thanks guys

Thought I'd point out that this product and the entire Fuel Series is designed specifically as a multisport/endurance range, not a bodybuilding product. It is a recovery product for these athletes as they are not in need of high protein, and includes BCAA's and Electrolytes replenishment.

It was designed around the requirements of Craig Alexander, 3x winner of the Hawaiian Ironman (3.8k swim, 180k bike ride, finish with a marathon through the lava fields of Kona).

You don't want a Mass Gainer to do that.

thanks very much michaelk, I posted this pretty early in my experiment in BB/Body sculpting, I was experimenting quite a lot with different kinds of supplements. I still am kind of, my morning protein/breakfast shake is a constant evolution of change lol.

even if your not lactose intolerant it seems if you have enough whey the bloating can happen. How much of it are you having?

2 cups baby spinach

1 tsp of organic raw coco power

1/2 cup of some dark fruit (blueberries mostly)

2 tbls of gojo berries

1 tbls of Ghia seeds

those measments are approximate I dont measure but eyeball,

I eat this most every mornings and I dont get bloated

[shanrocks]

Bloating is an abnormal swelling of the abdominal area (or if you prefer, the stomach area). THere are several cause for abdominal swelling, or 'bloating'. The main one of these is the accumulation of intestinal gases and liquids. Other reasons include:

* Overeating (gastric distension)

* Lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance and other food intolerances

* Food allergy

* Aerophagia (air swallowing, a nervous habit)

* Irritable bowel syndrome

* Partial bowel obstruction

* Gastric dumping syndrome or rapid gastric emptying

* Gas-producing foods

* Constipation

* Visceral fat

* Splenic-flexure syndrome

* Menstruation, dysmenorrhea

* Polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cysts

* Alvarez' syndrome, hysterical or neurotic abdominal bloating without excess of gas in the digestive tract

* Massive infestation with intestinal parasites, such as worms (e.g., Ascaris lumbricoides)

* Diverticulosis
