Does O.N.100% Whey Protein give you gas?

[jh225]

I have taken ON 100% Whey for quite a while now, and never gave it much thought. But in recent posts, I see that a bunch of people say that ON 100% gives them a lot more gas than other brands.

I actually double dose it (16oz. water w/2 scoops) taken once a day after a workout, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I have stuck with ON due to the quality, ease of mixing, cost, and it just plain tastes good compared to the old school stuff.

What is your experience and what brands if any are "less" gassious for a reasonable amount of money and the same or better ingredients?

[punksurfer024]

usually whey concentrates are more "gassy" then isolates. i havent noticed any brand to brand differences though.

[theman5102001]

i definately poop more than usual but that's the same with any protein. didn't notice an increase in gas

[Chazk]

i have some nasty ass farts while on this.. i can clear rooms :O

yeh when i was on nitro-tech and had had to use the restroom quite frequently during school, the only bad thing was it gave me cramps and it waste wasnt solid.

I've had gas ever since I got serious about bodybuilding and started supplementing. I have no idea what it is, though I''m assuming it's all the protein intake.

hilarious thread

[punkguy424]

ya i'm definitely more gassy from ON 100%. its been so long since i've had any other kind of protein tho i'm not sure if its just ON or not. my next batch i'm trying something with no concentrate at all. so we'll see if that does anything.

even with the gas ON is a great product. just hopefully you can hold it in around crowded places

[bravo03_old]

its the amount of protein that is making you more gassy.

[saku]

I found ON whey to be good to me about gas. I only got bad gas when i was taking some cheap PVL whey concentrate.

cheers

[mikejnger]

I thought the gas was my creatine, but yeah it makes sense now that its the ON protien that I just started. And I have been clearing some rooms with some of this gas

[Townklurds]

I had it so bad when taking ON whey that my wife would get up out of bed and sleep on the couch. Guess it's better than making me sleep on the couch...

[halfcoat]

From what I have found is that most WPC's do this alot more than WPI's you might want to get a good WPI if the gas is a problem for you.

ON 100% gives you gas becuase it is a cheap blend,it has a lot of concentrate that is loaded with lactose and fat. Switch to a Isolate, or better yet 100% hydrolized protein.

[mattd16y8]

i have to same problem.
any recomendations for a good protein that's comparable in price for a 5lb jug?

dymatize elite
prolab
syntrax

but if you order your protein online, try true protein .com they have pre-made whey blends or you can customize your own blend. and its price is great.

I've been using Syntrax Matrix for around a month or so now. I've been pretty happy with it so far and not so much of a gas prob either.

Take a look at the amount of Cholesterol and Sodium in Syntrax. WAY too much Cholesterol, especially if you are taking two shakes a day or double dosing.

O.N.100% Whey Protein uses one of the WORST sources of Cheap @$$ Whey Concentrate alongwith OKAY quality Isolates and then lures the customers by stating that theirs is more of an "ISOLATE" product.

I have tried MANY proteins and found out it to be one of the worst in terms of stomach discomfort/gas.

Some of the best ones are Matrix, Sportpharma Whey, Dymatize Elite Whey and Cytosport Complete Whey.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I usually concern myself with the amount of fat and carbs etc. Don't see how I could have possibly skipped that when reading the label. Almost through a 5lb bag might as well finish it. I'll read labels thoroughly from now on.
