A member asked:
When i drink a protein shake my stomach gets upset with gas and stuff. does that mean i'm not digesting or able to use the protein?

Protein Shake: If you are using whey protein, a dairy product, it may be too difficult to digest. Try rice protein and see if that makes a difference. Rice protein with almond milk is less difficult to digest than whey protein with milk. Best wishes.
