For the love of god I blast ass all day on Syntha 6 there has got to be something that wont do this too me, Im lifting heavy and need as much protein as I can. I get most from food. My ride to work is an hr long so I chug a shake in morning and after work after my work out. but by time I get home the wife is ready to kill me. What do you use and whats the best? Thanks

$8.29/lb for pure whey isolate.
When I was in Afghanistan, the Syntha 6 I got out of the Px was pretty expensive.
the least expensive complete protein I can figure is whole eggs. They are slow burning and several dozen at Costco are only a few bucks.
Isopure low carb dutch chocolate. No aspartame, colesterol
I have maybe 1-2 shakes a day tops. By 2, I mean two scoops post workout.Quote:

Synthra 6 is FREAKING expensive for just 50% protein concentration.
Google is your friend. ON is the gold standard in my opinion. Syntha has an awesome taste but I just could not get over the cost-benefit ration.
Times Roman is dead on....whey isolate. Standard whey hurts my stomach too.
For months, my farts were so bad they would strip paint off a 57 bel air. Seriously, they were so hot every time I ripped one I thought I crapped my pants. My wife hated me, my kids and friends hated me. I realized 90% of my gas was coming from drinking my shake to fast. It would go from the blender to my belly in seconds. Now I let that puppy sit for about 10 minutes before I drink it and all the air escapes. Made such a difference for me I had to share. Good luck, being smelly sucks.
I switched to isolate last month. Much less gas and general full / bloated feeling.
Not bad. But there are two catches:Quote:

Look on the ingredients and see if it has sorbitol (sugar alcohol) quite a few protein bars have that and it makes everyone I know fart all day , maybe it has a lot of fiber?Quote:

I loved this post. I am still LOL. I just got a dog that "blasted ass" every now and then and now I just blame it on my dog. This post made my day! But from what I remember from Microbiology is that your flora is what is causing this to happen. Could be your diet, protein or just your active flora. I take GasX on bad days but a good rip with a nice rank smell means your are healthy inside.Quote:

anything with aspartame does it for me...oh and uniliver.
Nonstop protein farting. I just figured it was part of trying to get big. My wife is having a fit about it but I can't help it. A lot of good dutch ovens.
