Question: I did IP in 2017 and had really good results, unfortunately due to stress from my old job I gained it all back. I tried to start back on Monday and I drank a pre-made chocolate shake and 30 minutes later my stomach hurt so bad. I thought maybe it was because I took my vitamins an hour before my shake. So Tuesday I took my vitamins with my shake and my stomach hurt again. The first time I did IP I didn't have any issues. Did they change formulas? Does anyone have any recommendation to help? I really want to give this another try. Thanks

I had trouble with the few pre-made shakes I tried too. I switched to the powder mixes and have had zero problems. Honestly, I prefer the taste of the powder mixes anyways!

Same here. I feel like there is something new with the IP products now. I have upset stomach everyday. I have take my prilosec and tums almost every day.

@lh81 Reach our to your coach so they can ask the science department at corporate. There’s also the Nausea paragraph in the starter folder under how your body may initially respond. Hope this helps.

Vitamins with lunch & try a package shake just to see. Our bodies change, we just have to adapt! I find all ready made products give me digestive issues. ‍♀️

Same! This is my second round and if I take my morning supplements with breakfast, I vomit. I now do them with lunch instead and have had no problems.
