Ok I deliver dairy products to a convenient store chain . My 70 yr old mother and my wife get diarrhea when they drink milk . Since the regular milk made them sick they changed to lactaid .

One day I brought some 2% in a carton instead of a plastic container . Well , both my mother and wife drank some of the milk I brought in the carton . Amazingly , neither got sick and up to this day they both drink regular milk but only out of a carton . It might be worth a try : )

I bought some samples of whey-free Protein Powder and some dairy free bars today. I am pretty sure this is a dairy issue. Since whey is milk and I'm constantly consuming it between the shakes and bars, this has to be the problem. I took a Lactaid pill then ate about 1/4th of a Quest bar this morning. 30 minutes later, my intestines started getting rumbly and I needed the bathroom quick. Lactaid isn't doing the job for me, though I know it helps many of us with dairy problems. I'm so sad because I am going to have a hard time getting the Protein requirements met without dairy products. Being sick and terribly gassy most of the day is worse though. I hope I can get this under control.

All of you lactose Intolerant people, I have a simple solution for you. Go get some lactaid pills at the store, and take two along with your first sip of the shake, and you should be good to go. I've been lactose intolerant for years and this is what I do. It works.

I'm 8 weeks post op and over the past couple of weeks I have developed bowel issues with my chocolate Protein Shakes that I drink on the way to work. I can drink the vanilla and Cookies n creme with no issues. Some days I think my sleeve is just being picky.

      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! 😞
