What people say about Whey Protein and digestion
“I stopped taking whey protein. Almost all brands have sucralose, which has questionable effects on gut biome.”
“I do notice they help significantly but i cannot tolerate them (yes, I have tried concentrate, isolate and hydro), I start to bloat a lot and feel a bit nauseous.”
“The other thing I was going to get is a good pea protein for shakes (whey protein fucks me up).”
“I decided to start taking a scoop of whey protein everyday...I've also recently become heavily constipated.”
