Digestion problems after increasing protein intake

I started to count calories, mostly protein, about a week ago and increased my protein intake. It seems like I'm making progress in my nutrition and workouts, but I ran into some digestive problems, like heartburn, (I've never had it before and I usually don't have digestion problems at all) and abdominal discomfort. I'm 27 years old, my weight is around 77 kg, and the amount of protein I eat is 100-140 g. Earlier, it was around 60-80g. Maybe there is someone who had this problem and knows how to deal with it. I will be happy for any advice

UPD. If it's possible, I would prefer to avoid any sort of medicines

There is a lot of confusion about how much protein you need for a healthy diet. If you are not a professional athlete, it is much less than what is said around.
The proteins you were taking before were already sufficient, if taking more gives you problems it means that they are too many, listen to your body

Thank you! Maybe I should go back to smaller amounts and maybe increase it more gradually if I feel it's necessary after all

Yes, the most sensible way to proceed is always with small steps and progressive adjustments so as not to upset the body too much
