Hello everyone,The past 2 days I haven't faired well with Dextrose or Maltodextrin. Yesterday I even threw up and I even took a digestive enzyme with it from the day before. Before CN or CBL I never had a problem with these products but since Jan of this year these products don't agree with me. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is Rilose easier on the stomach since it is rice based? Waxy maize a good product? Can I have honey PWO? I seen the GI index of 55 which seems low for honey. For now I think I am going to stick with Banana'a but would like other options.
I wouldn't do honey PWO.Either try bananas, potato starch, karbolyn, or just skip carbs in the shake.You could also try HBCD with an IWO shake.

What is HBCD?

What is HBCD?
Highly branched cyclic dextrins.
Thank you for the suggestions. I think tonight I will go no carbs in the shake and have my first meal within 30 minutes of the shake. I will probably be able to eat more carbs through out the night as well. Even when I stick with 2 scoops of dextrose it hurts my stomach to the point I can't eat that much.

are you sure it was the dex? i've experience some hard core bloating but never vomiting .... how much are you taking, and how quickly are you consuming it? are you drinking a shit load of water at the same time or what?

What size scoops are you using? The scoop that came with my dextrose is ~40g carbs each.. I only use half a scoop in my PWO. I think even in the book he says all thats really necessary for the optimal benefit is 20-30g

I skipped the dextrose completely and went with 100grams of hydro/isolate mix, leucine, creatine. Not only did I not bloat or feel sick but I was able to eat more through out the night. I was taking 2 scoops(50 grams).

a little bit of dextrose (like 20g) is still VERY beneficial in reverse the muscle breakdown process... which is your main concern with regards to Post-workout shakes. You never mentioned how much you were actually using and also, how long are you ULC through the day ?

Its not beneficial if it gives me a stomach ache to the point I don't feel good and want to eat anything the rest of the night. I was taking 50 grams or so when it started giving me an upset stomach, I was even drinking it slowly with digestive enzymes. ULC from 5:00am(AM shake's at 6:00am and 9:00am and a ULC lunch at noon, workout at 5:00pm)

Did you test it at a lower dose (like the 20g suggested) to see if you still get the crappy feeling?

At this point i'd rather not because of how awful I felt. I am having my first Carb meal within 30 minutes though after the shake. The hydro/iso and leucine is giving me the insulin response I need so I am not overally concerned.

Digestive enzymes? Also, hydrosylates makes me feel horrible in the gut if i don't mix with enough water.. i know it sounds crazy but it's true. Plus being ULC for 12+ hours and then getting a HUGE insulin spike might be an issue. But if it didn't happen but only once then it's probably not the case.
Not sure if it was mentioned but switch to Rilose. You can get it from protein factory.
