ive just started taking protein shakes (1-2 scoops in 8-6 oz. of water) and ive had to use the bathroom more than the usual. what can i do to help fix this? its not to fun...
Liquid protein shakes should not be your sole source of nutrition. Most can's of liquid supplements tell you that. I am kind of dealing with the same thing myself. I am doing a 40 day fast for Spiritual and Cleansing purposes. This is what I had to do. The first three days I did straight liquids. Then the four day I incorporated some pecans (10 whole), the fifth day, I had two hard boiled eggs. So you might want to just add some lean chicken breast, or a few ounces of turkey meat, tuna or salmon and cut the shakes down to like two a day. There are many other ways to get protein beside those drinks which are not the best source of protein anyway. You could also try some of the various lentils and beans combined together to make a complete protein. Boiled peanuts are a really good filler also to cut some of the hunger pains. Good Luck

i have had protein powder give me diarrhea
and a different brand make me constipated
it might be one of the other ingredients in the mix besides the whey.
i am presently using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey and no problems.
i won't use over one scoop, the suggested serving size. and usually use it 4x a day.

Don't worry about it protein shakes are suppose to take a lot of bad toxins in your body so that's why its happening.
if it contains dairy products it is a good possibility that it will cause diarrhea.
quit drinking the protein shakes... :P
