Milk issues anyone? I'm a RnYer.



Recommended Posts

Hello, so I have had a funny reaction to milk. Not a full blown lactose intolerance that sends me to the br or anything and not a full blown dumping syndrome either. But when I drink milk I get super bloated, the burps, and an unwell feeling. I have to walk it off, my arms get all weak, I get listless and then have to lay down because if I remember I think my head hurts a bit. Maybe I drank too much or too fast who knows but would you guys say that's lactose intolerance? Also, I have noticed my sugar is now running high again in the a.m. And since I was super insulin resistant before surgery, I am thinking to lay off the milk. They want me to have three Dairys per day but my guess is the sugar in that milk is causing all of this mess. Any advice is helpful. Thank you in advance.

Thanks. I remember seeing it in Publix and yes Walmart is where I dread going. We live near big vacations spots so there are always thousands of tourists who have never seen a Walmart in their life who just bombard the store and want everything. Me, I just want fair life. Hee hee. I can't stand the crowds. Have great day.

I do get that reaction from milk. I can drink a tiny bit and I am ok but if i have more than a sip or two, or other things like ice cream I get that. For some reason I am ok with cottage cheese and other cheeses so I think it is a small lactose intolerance compared to some.

I will be two years post op and it still bothers me.

Lactaid/lactase can be your friend. I have kind of similar issues. Anything with whey Protein gives me some distress.

I buy the big box from costco and that lasts me a while. They dissolve easily, or can be swallowed, providing one is at the pill swallow stage.

I am almost nine years out and I have an odd relationship with dairy products. Things I don't do well with:

Regular Milk

Ice Cream

Frozen Yogurt

(Gives me the shakes, almost like a pre-dumping syndrome type of situation.) Lactaid is better, but not great. I tend to avoid these things all-together.

Things I do just fine with:

Cottage cheese

Greek yogurt (love!)

Regular cheeses (double love!)

I just make sure I get enough Calcium in my diet and with my supplements. I thought my life would be over without ice cream, but I actually don't even really miss it. I miss Cereal and milk more than I miss ice cream!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
