Protein shake poop problems? - Weight Loss Message Board

I've recently started drinking protein shakes twice a day, and it has made me constipated! I don't get it, I drink almost a gallon of water every day. Does anyone have this problem with protein supplements? (BTW, I'm using whey protein)

I had gas problems from drinking whey protein shakes, so I stopped drinking them. If you're having problems, I think you should scale back. Drink one shake instead of two and see if your body can deal with that. I know that a lot of people have stomach issues when it comes to whey protein.

My significant other was told that the horrible cramps he was feeling was do to whey protein shakes. I have had no problems with them and continue to have them for breakfast (better than nothing which was the old plan) and before bed.
