Gym-goers are being warned that their favourite high-protein supplements could be wreaking havoc on their gut health. It can be a challenge to find stomach-friendly fuel for workouts, and popular choices like protein bars, shakes, and pre-workout drinks may not always agree with your digestive system.Despite their widespread use, these products can cause discomfort or even bloating in some people.

Chris Dubberley, a gut health expert from Incontinence Shop, has offered his advice and recommendations.Protein bars might be convenient, but they can be tough on your stomach.

They're often loaded with isolated fibres and sugars that don't digest well and instead ferment in your gut, leading to bloating, gas, or diarrhoea.Ingredients like chicory root fibre and maltitol, which are commonly found in these bars, are known to upset more sensitive stomachs.Chris said: "Athletes should be particularly mindful of eating protein bars to avoid digestive issues during exercise.

Gabby Logan's tears over husband's cancer battle as she guest hosts Pointless
Gabby and her husband, former rugby player Kenny Logan, went through an emotional whirlwind after Kenny's shocking prostate cancer diagnosis.The heartfelt revelation, made by the beloved BBC Sports presenter on Steven Bartlett's The Diary of a CEO podcast in 2022, saw Gabby share: "He [Kenny] was really upset as you can imagine and I just thought, 'Right no, this is going to be absolutely fine, what are we going to do? What are the answers here?'" Gabby, who appears on Pointless on Friday, 17 May, further explained how their neurologist proved to be an amazing source of guidance, she said: "His neurologist was brilliant, he's a brilliant communicator and told us what the options were and I was like, (to Kenny) 'We've just to get a plan together, you need to know what you're doing and then we will keep being positive about it.'" Once they had adjusted to the initial shock, they treated the ordeal as a project: "That's what we did really, once we got over the initial shock, we just really kind of focused on it as a project we had to deal with and it's a b****y awful operation." Despite the gut-wrenching diagnosis, Gabby showed remarkable resilience, revealing that deep down, she was certain she "wasn't going to lose her husband, who is also the father of her two children. As she shared stories about how this formidable challenge had actually strengthened their bond, with Kenny proving to be an incredible "rock" throughout the journey, the normally composed sportscaster was moved to tears.
