Anyone get sick on protein bars
So I have finished my six month diet and was very faithful to protein bars and drinks and still am while I await approval. The last two days as I ate the same protein bar I have been eating for the last two months I get really nausious. It gets so bad it makes it hard to eat the rest of the day. I just finished dinner (just had a salad with grilled chicken) and am so sick I feel like I am going to let it back up. I haven't even had surgery yet but the thought of those protein bars (which I really did get used to and like) are making me sick. I would expect taste buds to change post surgery. Anybody else go through this where the protein supplements started making you ill?
Protein bars vary widely. Many have over 20g of sugar which we should avoid. Low sugard bars have sugar alcohol instead which doesn't count as sugar for our diets. The sugar alcohol causes some folks trouble with gas or the runs. You may be sensitive to this, most no sugar products have some sugar alcohols, even where you might not expect (Benefiber chewables, for instance).
Try laying off the protein bars for now. You're going to need protein shakes for months after your surgey anyway - start trying to find a brand you can tolerate now. I liked Designer Whey because it mixed well with Skim Plus milk, was not sickeningly sweet or foamy like so many others.
Good luck.
