Recommend me a new brand/type of protein

I currently use Optimum Nutrition, both whey isolate and casein. I've been using them for about 9 months now. Since about 2 months ago they've been making me have unbearable farts. Constant and paint-peeling. My food diet has not changed.

Im getting low on supplies and am about to order some more. Any recommendations?

Changing brands isn't going to help.

How about types? Soy or hemp protein?

Protein doesn't make me gassy at all. Does yours have lactose?

They both state they contain milk and soy, and lactase.


I'm going to stop using the casein for a few days and see what happens. If no changes, then I'll only use the casein and stop the whey isolate and see what happens.

Google protein farts. It's just a thing that happens.

Nothing will help, but trutein is the bomb.

casein sucks, just use hydrolyzed or micronized whey protein isolate. you're probably lactose intolerant.

Haven't touched the casein today and my gas is considerably less.

Try reducing the amount of protein you take, or spread out the dosage. I take protein, Optimum Casein, as a meal replacement but slightly less than a full serving and don't have a problem with gas even being lactose intolerant.

Lactose was an issue for me when I overdid it. Get whey isolate and drink/eat moderate amounts of dairy and problem solved.

Figured it out.

I stopped eating oatmeal...that's what was doing it.
