What to add to slow down digestion?

Ok, I make a shake typically everyday after my workout. The thing is, these things go right through me. I mean, I feel them in my gut all damn day. All bloated and crappy feeling, almost immediately after drinking them. What, if anything, can I add to slow down my digestion of these? I heard something once about heavy cream? Is that bad for you? I'm on a low sugar diet also, in case that matters. Ok, thanks guys!

Heavy cream is fat, not whipped cream.

You say they go right through you, then you say they sit there all day, that doesn't make sense...

Yeah....What Mudge said

Well, it "goes right through me" in the sense that right after I drink them, you'd better clear out the room. But I feel bloated and gross for a while after that. It's like the shake goes right through my stomach, down my intestines and to my butthole in like 5 minutes, and then sits there all damn day! hehe sorry to be gross, but hey you needed the clarification. I take digestive supplements that are supposed to help digest protein and different foods. my shake consists of:

crushed ice (about 6-7 cubes)
8oz milk (i try to use lactaid fat free)
2 scoops protein
half a banana (sometimes whole if I feel up to it! )

and then to top it off and make it xtra yummy, 2 big spoonfuls of low-sugar crunchy all natural peanut butter.

Are you lactose intolerant?

My brother even said protein drinks gave him gas, I can tell you he just about refuses to eat vegetables, something I dont understand because I eat just about anything, just about everything he eats is PLAIN, burritos, burgers...

This seems to bother some people gas wise, I don't really know why for sure, poor digestion? Maybe this ties in with what LAM said about milk causing digestion problems in some people.

Well, I am lactose intolerant, but that's why I use lactose free milk. AND i take pills to help me digest proteins as well as dairy. who knows haha

Well...I'd say that's your problem then...I'd cut the milk entirely...even the lactaid...switch to cream and water and see if you have any improvement (give it a couple days) and if not, switch protein powders.
