Soy protein gives me bad stomach

[Ombah]

About 3 weeks ago I started excersising pretty intense and after each excersise I've been drinking a soy protein-shake. Since I started doing that my stomach isn't what it used to be. My farts stinks like hell and I must poop a lot.

It has to be the soy, cause it's the only thing I've change in my diet. Should I stop with soy and use something else or can you use it combined with something to make it more gentle to the stomach?

Out of interest what is in the soya protein shake?

[Ombah]

Sweet soya milk, Banana (not always), Cacao, Soy protein powder.

Sometimes I do a protein pudding with dates, bananas, raw cacao and soy protein powder.

If you are making it with soya milk, then I would not bother about the soya protein. Depending on the brand each liter of soya milk normally has about 25-30g of protein in it already.

Depends how much protein you want to get, as I runner I assume you probably are more worried about the carbs?

I both run and build muscles. Don't get confused by the nick

Yeah, but I only drink soy milk when I'm doing the shakes and then I use about 2-3 deciliter.

As you said its probably the added soya protein. Try remove it and gradually add it back to see if your body gets used to it?

In my shakes I always aim for 30g protein and 60g carbs. I would not go over 50g of protein that is probably excessive.

What kind of lifting are you doing? You should start a training log

[Ombah]

Okay! I'm almost out of powder now. I'm thinking about trying without powder and do it "natural" through food.

I go to the gym and do some at home. At the gym I use machines and at home i lift weights. I must say that I've seen big progress in only three weeks!

I've been thinking about a training log but I'm so bad at the english training words

you could try rice, pea, or hemp protein. they are usually always available.

btw starting a training log will help your english - so its a win-win

For breakfast today I made a smoothie (that ended up being eating with a spoon ) from one mango, two bananas, 1 scoop of ground flax, and two handfuls of soya beans (bought dry, soaked, cooked and frozen until needed). Maybe an idea for you to play around with?

Yeah, but these proteins need to be ordered at internet and since I don't work atm it's a big expence. Soy protein is the only thing avalible in my town.

Okay! I will start a log!

I already have a morning smoothie with 1 banana, freshly pressed oranges, spirulina, maca, nettle powder and some oat meal. And to be honest I'm not a big fan of thick smoothies, haha. But the bean part wasn't a bad idea

I react different on different soy proteins. The more isolate the better for my stomach.

this is why i dont use soya protein isolate - get so much soya as it is, and developing intolerance to it would kill me! (emotionally)

Yeah, that's one reason why I'm considering to stop with the soy protein. But it's so cheap and it works! Do you use any extra protein stuff?

Have you actually taken a look at the protein and carb content of a regular glass of soy milk with o'boy (or any other chocolate drink powder)?

My recovery drink consists of about 4dl of sweetened Alpro soy milk and 5 tsp of Änglamark's organic chocolate drink powder, which adds up to about about 15g of protein and 40g of carbs. As an endurance athlete this is a pretty good protein/carb ratio.
