I've read numerous posts on here about people becoming lactose intolerant after surgery, but my question is- could the opposite happen? I used to not be able to tolerate dairy (didn't stop me from eating it though). I'm almost 3 months post op, and dairy- especially cheese-leaves me bound up for days. Definitely a new experience for me, anyone else run into a similar situation?

I still love my 1% milk. No lactose intolerance.

I know yogurt has some protein in it that makes milk more tolorable, and my NUT pushes yogurt a lot, so I can see that having a good effect on being able to drink milk

I was actually just talking about this with my mom. I am not lactose intolerant, but I have a fairly strong IGg delayed allergy to milk, as well as an "instant" allergy. It makes my stomach upset, but I've been in love with dairy my whole life. I've never been able to tolerate milk shakes too well, straight up milk is hard for me. After I had my gallbladder out last September, everytime I ate dairy for a few months, I was extremely nauseous and even vomited. I have a strong feeling that I may not be able to eat my beloved Greek yogurt and cheese after surgery! I guess I will be searching for soy protein shakes?! I bet I will have a hard time with whey. Good luck to all of you with dairy tolerance!!
