I have used Huel on and off for years, no problems before. I have been having one large shake a day for months, sometimes two, without issue. But now my most recent batch of chocolate flavour is giving me upset stomach and stomach ache, even when I only have a single scoop shake. I took a few days off Huel and my stomach was fine, first day back on it and my stomach is upset again. Is there a way to check recipe changes across batches? I also have a brand new bag and I am tempted to open that and see if it was maybe just a weird batch? I really want to continue with Huel but I don’t want to feel ill every day! Anyone else experiencing similar, now or previously? Would love to hear advice or reassurance. ---

Hey, this is quite odd as there has been no recipe changes since December. I’m sorry I don’t have any helpful suggestions. Have you tried any other batches or flavours? ---

I have been having this lately too. I opened a new bag of chocolate and my stomach hasn’t been brilliant since. Maybe there is a bad batch code? ---

Best thing you can do is mail customer service with the: - Batch number - Best before date - Order number explaining the issues - they will advise on what to do, but if they need to investigate further, they will probably need you to return the actual product for testing. ---

The only thing of which I remember that it was new was Tapioca Starch - can’t imagine that it causes problems, though… ---

Hey Dan, I took a couple of days off and now I have opened a new bag of mint choc chip, which seems not to be causing too many problems - but I am increasing amounts today so will see how I get on and report back. ---

Do you have the batch code for that chocolate bag that said have you stomach problems? Want to see if it’s the same as mine at all. I have just finished a chocolate huel and not feeling brilliant. I had a vanilla one earlier this morning and was fine.
