Can Protein Powder cause constipation?
For some people whey protein powder can cause constipation if they are lactose intolerant. In most cases however, constipation while on a protein rich diet is likely the result of a lack of good fiber in your diet. If you suffer constipation while taking protein, consider switching protein type. If symptoms persist you should try supplementing your diet with additional fiber from fresh fruit and vegetables.
