Whats up!
So I'm living in China at the moment, I've been here for 3 months and I'll be for another 3 at least.
I recently just got settled in the city I'll be staying at till I leave in the summer.
Joined the gym, ordered rutrend strawberry ( tastes great in water btw ) and creatine.
I get a bad stomach here fairly often anyway. But nothing to worry about really.
I was always fine using Myprotein whey before, little bloated and gassy at times. But nothing bad.
Since starting it again my stomach has been so unpredictable. I went from a once a day the same time almost toilet trip. To 3-4 times with no real warning, and always having a bloated " I might need to go soon " feeling.
Sorry for the details ..
I cut out a lot of dairy from my diet a long time. Since being in china the only dairy I've eaten, is an ice cream every other week or a slice of cheese on a burger when I'm missing western food.
Then going straight to using 75g of protein a day from whey. ( it's difficult to get a lot of protein in your diet here )
I haven't used any today and my stomachs been a little better, I'm not going to use any tomorrow either to see what the difference like.
Also protein isn't cheap here, I don't want to switch brands. I read that isolate would stop any lactose issues.. but I'm tempted to avoid it altogether and get a planet based one if i can find it here.
Had anyone had a similar experience ?
How did you fix the issues?
Cheers!
