A2 milk's mixed impact on bloating
We aimed to understand how different types of milk affect bloating, particularly focusing on A2 milk versus regular A1/A2 milk. In this study, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial with 40 participants who reported experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort after consuming milk.

Over two weeks, each participant consumed either A2 milk or A1/A2 milk, separated by a two-week washout period. Using various assessments like symptom rating scales and digestive symptom questionnaires, we examined the effects on bloating and other gastrointestinal symptoms.

Our findings revealed that A2 milk did increase reports of bloating and loose stools compared to the A1/A2 type. However, participants also indicated experiencing less abdominal pain and urgency when consuming A2 milk. Interestingly, fecal calprotectin levels were less elevated after consuming A2 milk, particularly in males, suggesting that A2 milk may help alleviate some digestive discomfort.

Overall, while A2 milk was associated with less abdominal pain and urgency, some individuals did experience increased bloating. Despite this, the study didn't report any significant adverse effects, suggesting that A2 milk could be a viable option for those with mild digestive issues related to milk consumption.

Protein and toddler digestive comfort
In our analysis of how toddler nutrition affects digestive comfort, we evaluated the impact of A1 protein-free (A1PF) formula compared to conventional formulas. This study involved 200 toddlers aged 2-3 years over a 90-day period.

Participants were randomly assigned to consume either A1PF or a conventional formula. While the results showed no significant difference in the overall incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) or diarrhea between the two groups, noteworthy observations were made regarding digestive symptoms.

We found that toddlers consuming A1PF experienced significantly less severe bloating and gassiness, as well as fewer episodes of regurgitation. The formula also proved well tolerated, with no serious side effects reported.

Although the study indicates that A1PF might improve certain aspects of digestive comfort, further research is needed to clarify whether these improvements are specifically due to the protein-free formulation or other differences in the nutritional content of the formulas.

We conducted a study to explore the effects of casein glycomacropeptide (GMP) as a protein substitute on bloating and general gastrointestinal (GI) health in children with phenylketonuria (PKU).

The research involved twelve young participants who were given either GMP or a traditional phenylalanine-free amino acids (AA) substitute for 12 weeks, with a four-week washout period in between. We observed that children consuming GMP reported statistically significant improvements in several GI symptoms related to bloating, including stomach pain, heartburn, and wind.

There was also a trend suggesting GMP might help reduce constipation and discomfort during meals, though some of these findings were near statistical significance rather than definitive. Despite these improvements in symptoms like bloating, there weren't any substantial differences in stool health markers or measures related to renal function and inflammation.

Importantly, we noted that blood levels of phenylalanine were higher when GMP was the protein source, which could be a challenge, particularly for children with PKU who have strict dietary restrictions. This means that while GMP might ease some bloating symptoms, its effect on phenylalanine levels may complicate its use as a sole protein source.

Well tolerated protein

For vegans👍 I have pancreatitis, so I choose my protein with care. I previously tried California Gold, which caused gases and bloating. A friend recommended vegetable proteins, and I ordered this one—it has worked wonderfully. It is well tolerated with no side effects👍 I highly recommend it.

No bloating issues

I just started using this last night and noticed a significant boost in my energy. I didn't have any issues with bloating, which had been a major problem for me before. This product has been gentle on my stomach. I plan to switch to Whey Protein Isolate in the future, but so far, this has been a fine product for me.

Upset stomach

I was excited to try this protein powder, but it has left me with an upset stomach and bloating. I've used various brands successfully in the past, so I was surprised by the reaction. While it mixes well, unfortunately, I’ll have to avoid this product in the future.
