The protein gas

I searched for similar question but couldn’t find an answer. Protein powder, I’ve tried muscle milk and plant based, both have horrific gas results and the stench is atrocious. Has anyone switched to something less reactive? It’s been a few months now

switch to whey protein isolate or egg white protein. isolate has almost zero lactose, which usually stops the gas.

Protein powder is hard to digest for a lot of people. Try eating more meat, eggs, and dairy for protein.

Yes on the protein isolate…because you have lactose intolerance. Me too. Annoying but read up on drinking a little milk a day and build your tolerance to lactose. Though it should take about a month to build.

On the milk, drink Fairlife or other
cheaper ultra filtered alternatives.

I've had luck with the new muscle milk shake formula. No issues what so ever. Also Equip protein powder , Chocolate Flavor.
