Have you noticed how "what I eat in a day" videos make protein look effortless? In real life, especially with IBS, the day can look more like a safe breakfast, a rushed lunch, and one meal you're hoping won't backfire.
That's why I ask patients to think about protein as more than a number. The goal is steady support for muscle, but the powder also needs to be tolerated by the gut sitting in front of me. Both can be true.
My Quick Check Before Choosing a Daily Protein:
✓Does it give meaningful protein per serving, not just a "wellness" label?
✓Is it low FODMAP, not just clean-sounding?
✓Is it third-party tested for heavy metals?
✓Does it skip common gut triggers like inulin, chicory root, and sugar alcohols?
Why It MattersPlant proteins can pick up heavy metals from soil. That doesn't mean avoid them; it means choose brands that test. And for sensitive guts, certification matters because a simple shake shouldn't become the reason you feel bloated later.
