can whey make you fat and/or bloated

hi all
just something i noticed over the last 2 weeks since i cleaned my diet. i am getting pretty lean as my only carb sources now are brown rice and oats and sometimes sweet potatoe. everytime though when i drink my pwo whey shake, i become bloated a half hour later. i have adjusted the amounts and i get the same effect. when i awake the next morning, i am back to normal however the same cycle repeats itself when i have my whey shake. my diet is extremely clean and i am noticing a huge drop in bf %. does anyone else experience this. i am thinking that maybe i am sensitive to whey if thats possible. the brand i am using is sps isopro. maybe i should change to a more reputable international brand like ON. any opinions?

I get that on whey concentrate and must use isolate. It must be something to do with the dairy products, as I have always had an allergy to dairy.

I was reading an article on whey the other day on the distinction between isolate and concentrate and one of the things the author said was that the concentrate contains more lactose in it and people who have a lactose sensitivity should use isolate because the concentrate causes problems for them with gas and bloating ...

So in short i think Pump is right

EVERYBODY is lactose intolerant. Its the degree of intolerance that differs.
Drink Digestive Enzymes with the whey - it helps.

Ice-rip i have used the sps isopro and it was the smoothest shakes i ever had with no bloat, and because it is fruit flavors much better, It must be different from person to person, and i used ON whey and i hated it, it was too sweet and i bloated up heavy. Why not maybe switch over to the raw weigh from basicsupplements and see how you feel on that

I get that on Whey Concentrate from BasicSupplements, thats why I use Isolate from them now.

i also implemented a intra workout drink which is 12grams of scivation xtend which is nothing more than a bcaa. you dont think it could be that?

I agree with Jackrabbit1, digestive enzyme complexes are cheap and really do make a difference when it comes to digestion of protein shakes.

Protein shakes can most definitely make you fat if you have too high amounts at once or if your total daily calories consumed exceeds total calories used. Excess protein is broken down and converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis which primarily takes place in the liver this glucose can then be stored as glycogen if stores need replenishment or converted to fat and stored

Where can one get these digestive enzymes ?

apteek

Dischem would have big variety. 9 chain ones too me thinks.What they say there is correct. It is the lactose. U can try the Isolate... like SPS isopro,ON Hydrowhey, USN Pro Isolate100 etc etc. If that dont work, u can take the enzymes i would say.

What kind of stuff should you look for dygestive enzyme

Google's #1 Hit???

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzyme

I take probiflora every day now as part of my routine. I think it does help balance the intestinal flora. It also helps with the bloating and lactose intolerance.

Dischem about 50 bucks for a bottle of 60. Dirt cheap.

Becarefull not to exceed 4 a day, or be in for a burning sensation
