I read the rules and saw that if my title is to generic that the thread gets closed.
So I put my question as my title.
Right now I'm taking ON's Natural Whey Protein which has a combination of (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Whey Peptides).
If I switched to say, Syntrax Natural Nectar which is a pure 100% Whey Isolate, would I get less stomache discomfort? (Gas, bloating, etc).
Also, does Casein protein cause any sort of stomache discomfort?
Does anyone know what the best brand would be of whey protein isolate that would cause the least amount of stomache discomfort? That's my main concern.

When I first changed my diet to high protein I had gas for a little while but I have not had any problems since with any kind of whey, casein or blend.
Pick any brand, such as ON, that includes digestive enzymes in the protein to aid digestion.Obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, only to be broken.

Some members on this forum have used gut health from RPN
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/rpn/guthealth.html
I believe zachattack had good results on controlling his protein farts, just run a search on gut health in the product reviews.
Also digestive enzymes might help, Digest from Enzymedica is an excellent product.

I have never had any issues with gas while using an isolate. Also, as a general rule of thumb, isolates should help you see a decrease in gas from proteins like concentrates and eggs, which cause gastric discomfort in many users.
CXM also made some excellent suggestions - digestive enzymes are wonderful for issues like these. I have used Digest-All by MRM for a few years and have enjoyed my results with it. This is the only product of this nature that I can speak to, as I have yet to give others a try.

Sorry this reply is so late. Works got me busy.
But I gotta say, you sir, are a badass.
But yeah personally I'm sick of the bloating and gas.
Especially because of the fact that I work in a factory and I walk to and from places bringing people stuff and it's not exactly nice to be farting in there seeing as how there's:
1: No air conditioning
2: It's hot
3: There's like 600 people in there
4: I don't want to kill those 600 people.

Protein, Protein the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot.
Cheesy I kno.
Being serious tho. Most types of protein can build up gas. A good digestive enzyme will help defer that problemPhillies-Eagles Fan for life

It depends, everybody has different digestive systems and different normal flora. For instance, some people can eat broccoli and have horrible gas while, on the other hand, it might not give another person any gas at all. However why isolate tends to cause less gas for most people that I am aware of!
