Why does whey protein give me gas?

[Anonymous]

Any time I ingest a whey protein product, whether it be a shake or a bar, I get HORRIBLE gas about an hour later. It doesn’t happen with any other dairy product. What’s the deal with whey?

It's the soy lecithin that's in there. Check your labels.

Constipation, serious constipation too.

Actually no, sunflower lecithin. Same?

Could be the artificial sweetener or added fiber. Corn fiber gives me the worst stomach pain.

For some reason, completely plain whey shakes give me palpitations.

Yes - that's likely it.

Or you are lactose intolerant?
