View Full Version : Gas and bloating from All the Whey
tennisball Thu, June 30th, 2005, 12:17 AM I just got my first 5lb tub of isolate from All the Whey, and I have an unhappy roommate now. I have really, really bad gas.
I had just finished my tub of isolate from ProSource (been using theirs for about 2 years), and got my All the Whey in the mail today. Used it twice- explosive after both times. I mean, really bad. My diet is unchanged, and I'm not lactose intolerant.
It tastes great, mixes fairly well, and is about half the price ($30/80 servings ATW, compared to $30/40 servings ProSource). I do think, however, that the ProSource isolate is higher quality (since those 40 servings come in at about 1/4 the weight and volume), so maybe the culprit is in the quality. (If anyone from ATW is reading- I like your stuff, I'm just bloated!)
Has anyone had this experience before? I don't have time to troll through all the postings in the ATW review, but hopefully someone can shed some light on their own gaseous experiences.

tennisball Thu, June 30th, 2005, 01:11 AM Oh man, that's the one I have! But it sure tastes great. I might just have to put up with the gas....sorry roommate.
Ugh, my stomach still hurts.....
except for Chocolate Mint
vatechguy Thu, June 30th, 2005, 07:46 AM It probably something in there you're just not used to.
I've never had the gas problem others have described from ATW - but my lifting partner just bought a tub of it and he complained the same as you.
Give your body a week to get used to the change and I bet it goes away.
Sapperstang Thu, June 30th, 2005, 10:15 AM I got my ATW yesterday. Took some last night and this morning and I feel fine. However I get horrible gas from eggs and my coworker can't stand it. If this gives me bad gas he may just quit.

Its a great product and that doesnt happen to me BUT the customer service over there does give me gas.
True story ...
tennisball Thu, June 30th, 2005, 11:51 AM If anyone's interested, the gas and bloating is a result of the whey's not being digested efficiently in my body. My old powder contained some digestive enzymes (including lactase and protease) that are usually included in whey powders and help with digestion. ATW, on the other hand, does not add this to their powder.
Anyone know about their satifaction guarantee?

scorpiosnow Thu, June 30th, 2005, 02:18 PM Why in the hell are you guys farting near your coworkers/roommates/whatever? Smelling other people's farts is THE grossest thing in the world, and I get really, really pissed at people who don't have the simple courtesy to go to the freaking bathroom before they crap their pants. Is it really so hard to go in the other room? Eggs give me bad smelling farts too, which is exactly why I'm polite enough not to visit it on other people.
jsbrook Thu, June 30th, 2005, 02:26 PM How many times have you used it? Maybe try it a few more times and see if it's really the culprit. If you're still experiencing problems, post to the All the Whey thread. Laura, their representative, is pretty accomodating.
LarryNC Thu, June 30th, 2005, 02:28 PM The only whey that doesn't give me REALLY bad gas is Solid Whey. 10 pounds for $38.99. (144 servings)
Laura Thu, June 30th, 2005, 06:19 PM Okay, okay, okay -----anything to end a thread with a title like this..........
Yes, we guarentee our product and if you are not satisfied, send me your full name and address and I will issue a pick up for the remainder and get you a full refund.

mereduke Thu, June 30th, 2005, 07:28 PM My boyfriend and I were talking about whey protein shakes and he told me the gym he goes to always stinks because people are farting all the time. At first he wondered why and then someone told him later its because of all the damn protein shakes they drink. Hmmm....if the two are connected I don't know, but its a good guess!
