Thanks for the responses. I decided to return the protein powder. I'm going to pick up something simple and natural like hemp protein instead of some chock-full-of-chemicals blend. I'll up my lean meats intake and just try to eat more proper calories throughout the day. I may go with some plain creatine monohydrate powder in addition though, still debating...

Has anyone here had any experience with beef-based protein powders? Specifically, I'm looking at Carnivor by MuscleMedsRX. I'd love to hear any comments people have.

After that, start slowly adding...

I am self-diagnosed NCGS. After 10 years of stomach difficulties, it seems to be the only thing that has worked. I definitely have less IBS-D and IBS-C (almost zero), and feel noticeably less exhausted all the time. And this is just after 2 months of gluten free living. I am lactose intolerant, and wonder if oddly I have a slight allergy to some nuts...

Marilyn, you definitely raise some good points. Maybe I'm just way more conscious of these things now, especially since, I think, I get freaked out by my stomach doing things like making noises, feeling certain ways, etc, simply because EVERYTHING used to be indicative of an IBS-D attack. I know the other day I heard my stomach making TONS of gurgling...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for 6 weeks now, but wanted to come out of the woodwork and start to contribute as well. The people on this forum have been an incredible help to me. I thought I'd give a super quick recap of my story then see if anyone could help me by sharing their results. I'm a 29 year-old male. I've had stomach problems...
