Hey everyone! I am only two weeks out and I've been noticing if I drink too much protein at once it seems to upset my stomach and give me diarrhea. Is this normal?
Are you mixing it with milk? I had a hard time with milk right after surgery...I'm fine now though. Once I realized I couldn't have the milk I started mixing my protein with diet swiss miss made with ho****er.
I had a hard time with milk right after surgery too...I haven't been brave enough to try it again yet! I use unsweetened almond milk (vanilla or plain) in my shakes, and that seems to set well all the time.
Protein drinks can often cause loose stools. I must be the one person who gets the reverse side effect. Regardless it does get better as you advance your diet and begin to consume more protein through solid foods.
