Does protein shakes upset anyone's stomach?

I've tried some protein coffee and protein shake and usually my stomach is a bit upset after. Do I just need to get used to it or should I try powder?

Does anyone have any tips for a low carb diet?

Althéra experiences

Is anyone on Althéra, if so what’s your experience on it? My little one completely refused Aptamil Pepti 1 so the dietitian put him back onto Kendmail & his symptoms are still persisting. So we are now trying Althéra. Quite nervous his feeds are going to drastically drop again as we ended up in hospital last time.

Interested to know people’s thoughts on Kendamil or Hipp Organic

Meal idea

What’s everyone having for lunch and snacks in the day? I’m trying my best to be healthy but nothing that’s healthy fills me up. I work out and about so I need things like sandwiches etc but I end always buying crisps and things to stay full, really struggling with what to eat 😞
