How long were you lactose intolerant post-surgery?

Hi all,

After surgery, I am lactose intolerant. I can have yogurt and hard cheeses, but soft cheese, milk, cottage cheese, and things with milk added, such as Fudgesicles all make me sick. I get gas followed by diarrhea. I have read some people were only temporarily lactose intolerant. Please chime in if you can now enjoy dairy again. I'm sick of soy milk and I really would love to have a pudding cup or a fudgesicle once in a while. And I miss cottage cheese too.

Thanks,

Lynda

3 months. I love my cheese, milk and it was really hard for me to say goodbye. Reintroduce in small amounts in another month and see how you do. Don't worry, life is not over, it is just starting!

Thanks! I hit 3 moths on August 17. Maybe I'll Celebrate my three-month surgiversary by trying a little cottage cheese.

I became lactose intolerant after the birth of my daughter (4 1/2 years ago) I am PRAYING that I go back to normal in a few months as I love my dairy products!

About 4-6 months for me, and my whey protein intolerance never went away. I still puke when I try to drink whey protein drinks, and if I manage to get it down, I end up with diarrhea and cramping.
