Lactose Free Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I'm feel quite sure I am not the only person to ask this question or have this problem. Since the surgery I have become extremely lactose intolerant. This is complicated by the fact I've never really liked the taste or texture of meat. I will eat some grilled chicken and I am beginning to enjoy some kinds of fish. But the idea of eating meat everyday for the rest of my life is pretty gross. So pre-surgery I was using a whey Protein from GNC as a supplement. I tried using is post sugery with absolutely disastrous effects even with the lactose pills.< /p>

I tried the local health food store for a spirulina based protein vanilla sample. I have to say that was gross. Generally I can just power through something if it must be done. Nothing could

make that particular brand palatable. My best description is it smelled like a piece of lettuce threw up. So incredibly gross. So I find myself in dire need of help. I really need something

that isn't too horrible but also won't break my bank.

Any suggestions at all would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

The farther you get out the less you want to rely on Protein shakes to get your protein in. That being said there are many products that have protein besides meat.

Cottage cheese, cheese of different kinds, greek yoghurt has more protein than regular yoghurt (these products should be fine for lactose intolerance as the lactose sugar is more or less broken down for you). Try a sample of cheese from your local grocer and see how your body reacts. Its more of a trial and error when it comes to lactose intolerance. Lactaid milk, soy milk, almond milk.

Then there are the Beans, lentils and nuts of different kinds. Just google high protein foods and you will find an interesting list of foods.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
