Nutritionist Explains Protein Digestion Issues

Nutritionist Explains Protein Digestion Issues

A nutritionist says that feeling gassy and bloated after eating protein is not the protein's fault.

It's because your gut might not be working well, like a slow drain in a sink.

To fix this, she suggests three steps: first, help your digestion by eating ginger and chewing food well.

Second, eat only one type of protein at a time, like lentils or chicken.

Third, eat foods that help your gut heal, like yogurt and bananas.

Only after doing these should you eat more protein.

This way, your body can handle protein better and you won't feel uncomfortable.
