Can protein cause diarrhea?

[ChrisGuilday]

I am taking about 1 scoop of protein a day. It's like 18G of protein which isn't much. It's muscle milk. I am definitely not lactose intolerant as I drink almost half a gallon of milk a day. However, I have been getting moderate diarrhea the past 3 days. Kind of gassy too. I am wondering if its from the protein.

Is muscle milk known to cause this?

Makes my **** rock hard. And gassy

Yes it can if you have too much lol

High-fat meals can lead to diarrhea. Also make sure you are having enough fiber. A lot of people don't get enough; eat vegetables/grains. I don't think the whey protein would cause this unless you had a problem with lactose. But protein itself will not cause diarrhea...

high-protein diets often eliminate or dramatically reduce other types of food like fruits and vegetables, the imbalance is actually what creates the problem

Everybodies body reacts differently. Anything in the sense you said is true but theres a bunch of chemistry involved with the stomach and theres clear difference in just about any case.

it could be the lactose if you're mixing it with milk, that or your diet. i'm sure protein doesn't cause that; eating leafy greens, grains and bananas will help digestion.

but dem protein farts doe :\

The bolded is most likely your problem, taper down your milk intake..the lactose is most likely messing with your bowels.

At the same time, why in gods name are you drinking that much milk? Do you not like REAL FOOD?

[trying2getfat]

Iv'e been wondering about this to, because today i shat blood. No joke, i have this habit of examining each piece of toilet paper iv'e used to wipe my anus, and i saw that one was soaked in blood.

[Distractiion]

Happens to me sometimes. Idk why. When i take protein with a meal, im fine. but with without food, its diarrhea.

[SamSix]

you're probably ingesting too much protein in general. cut back on the milk. 1g protein per lb bodyweight unless you're obese

[jasticus]

i get protein farts/chits so easily

[MarkBreen]

I take mutant mass, gives me the worst phucking gas you can imagine, smells like utter death.

O yeah and it makes u chit alot too

Edit: Makes me chit so much I start to wonder if I'm just losing more weight in the long run due to chitting
