Protein Shake Makes My Stomach Upset

Q: After I drink a protein drink I get an upset stomach or a stomach ache. What can I do to prevent this?

A: I get many clients that complain about gastric problems from liquid protein sources. The digestive systems breakdown liquid protein sources very quickly and may cause gastric problems. Try taking your liquid shake with a complex carb like rice. Or try taking in a good fat source. I use peanut butter with my Methoxy meal replacement (by MHP). This helps slow the absorption. You can also try adding a fiber supplement in your diet. Try one of these tips and get more bang for your buck when using liquid protein sources.
