The user found that their protein shakes were causing bloating because the whey protein didn't contain digestive enzymes. They switched to a brand with bromelain and noticed a significant improvement.
Finally figured out why protein shakes were making me feel so heavy been dealing with bloating after my post workout shake for months. thought it was just how protein worked. turns out a lot of whey proteins don't have any digestive enzyme in them so your gut just has to deal with it. switched to one that has bromelain — it's a natural enzyme that helps your body actually break the protein down. currently using Performance whey by BigMuscles clean protein series and the difference is noticeable. no more feeling like i swallowed a brick. anyone else had this issue?
