Feeling sick to my stomach after protein shake?

Does this happen to anyone else? I use soy milk but it takes about 15 minutes to feel better. I do 8 oz of soy and a scoop of protein. Could I be drinking it too fast?

You could be drinking too fast, or it could be the soy milk. I gave up on any kind of milk in my shakes because it was just too much. I add chocolate shake to water, a little Hershey's Dark Chocolate Cocoa to make it richer (less than 1 teaspoon) a little ice and sip slowly.

Is this frequent or just today? Could it be that your body just isn't having a good day for other reasons?

It is pretty much every morning. I haven't tried a shake with water yet. I guess I could try it and see.

I have tried it with water and I drink it slow and it still happens to me. It's just a protein powder itself a doctor told me. A lot of people stomachs can't handle protein powder in general. That's the best answer I got.

Early out I did have this problem wth my protein shakes.  Early in the mornings my tummy would seem to be smaller.  Try splitting your shake in half.  Drink 4 ozs, wait 30 minutes and drink the other 4 ozs.   See if that helps.

The same thing happens to me. I fought and fought to find the right powder, the right combination...
I'd drink one in the morning and feel sicker than a dog...almost like a hypoglycemic reaction. Shakey, sweaty, stomach cramping....I finally gave up. I get all the protein I need from food now. I measure servings and count protein all day.

The one thing I can suggest is not drinking them in the morning. Try drinking it after dinner.

Good Luck!

 Honestly, I feel sick before, during AND after those dang shakes.  Blech.

I have found I am not able to drink protein shakes at all.  Everytime I do I get sick.  I have to lay down because I feel like I will throw up if I don't.  I still struggle to try and get all my protein in, but I have been doing better as of late.

Good luck.

This is not that uncommon. It happened to me till I diluted the protein shake with twice the amount of water. Adding an additional 8 oz. of water means it will take longer to sip but it's easier on the stomach.

Wowzas I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.  It doesnt happen EVERY time that I have a shake, but if I drink it too fast, or with particular shakes.  I'm working on getting through them, but I so can not wait until I can get my protein entirely from food.  If I work at it I can get in enough protein from food to only need one shake a day now, but hopefully I can work towards not needing any.  Some I actually like, but they still make me feel blah.
