[shadewolf]

I tried one of these this morning and my stomach feels yucky now. am wondering which ingredients didn't agree with me. it's sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium, but those have never given me issues before. it's stats are as follows:
calories: 181
protein: 30 grams
Fat: 5 grams
Carbs: 4 Grams

minerals:
calcium 758.64 mg
chloride 1.75 mg
magnesium 68.39 mg
phosphorus 610.42 mg
potassium 248.48 mg
sodium 46.41 mg

ingredients: filtered water, 3 carb Pro tm unique protein blend: micellar casein, 100% microfilteres and ultrafiltered whey protein concentrate; dutch cocoa, medium chain triglycerides, cellulose gel, cellulose gum, natural flavours, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, carrageenan.

i had to drink some hot tea and eat several peanuts to settle my stomach again. i think i will avoid these shakes in the future...what does everyone know about these ingredients? any history of tummy troubles with them?

well the fats when they hit the conncetion to the intestines evoke a chemical reation that will slow down motility and emptying of the tummy which could be what is going on and not realted at all to the actual food you ate. watershould speed it up as it will dilute the concentrations but the nuts put more fat out there so again those chems were sent forth.

Sorry I can't help you with answers. I don't eat processed foods.
I find that I feel better, and lose weight better if i stick with pure foods.

Prepared foods like you discribed, have been proven to slow down weight loss and I am a slow loser already, so I steer clear of them.

I was using another type of protein powder before and mixing it with water...i'll post the specs when I get home...and had no problems whatsoever. Unfortuately I ran out and haven't had a chance to get some more yet. I had DH drink a can of this stuff, and sure enough he got a stomach ache from it too, though he drank a can of vanilla flavour....
