So I worked out finally today it is dairy giving me abdo pain and wind/gas. So unimpressed. I had maybe 100ml of skimmed milk after not having any for 2 days so I could see what would happen and man, hard bloated upper stomach and pain since about half an hour after the milk.

I'm annoyed because I am struggling with food options as it is, and I love cheese. I can't catch a break at the moment, so much crappy stuff going on and I just want to be healed, pain-free and getting on with life.

Some moron rang social services on us saying we weren't homeschooling our daughter properly too, so we had them here Monday and again tomorrow to talk to our daughter, so I am feeling rather fed up! :56_anguished:

Any good lactose-free puree recipes, please. No refried Beans thank you please :)

I think whey Protein isolate is ok with lactose intolerance. So you can make smoothies with Isopure whey isolate Protein, or use Jay Robb Egg White Protein, or soy protein (yuk on the taste). Use unsweetened cashew, almond, or coconut milk. Use coconut yogurt (Sprouts, and Whole Foods carries them...also almond yogurt).

Use nutritional yeast to replace parmesan cheese. Think there are some decent cheeses out there that are either lactose free or are made with nut milks? Dunno tho.

Sorry for the homeschool stress on top of what you are dealing with healing from surgery and PO life. ((hugs)) Try to treat yourself gently!! Rest when you can. Make great food choices!!! And walk and meditate/pray for stress relief.

Luckily we now have Skyr lactose free yoghurts, flavoured and plain and lactose free skim milk, semi-skimmed and whole, I am on the skimmed obvs, thanks for the tip on the nutritional yeast, I shall get on to Amazon :D also Slimfast have got some new vegan Protein Shakes that are 26g protein per serve and are lactose and gluten-free, so a quick look last night gave me a few options too.

You guys in the states have a far FAR better range of food than we do; AND gutted, only 3 or 4 Wholefoods in the UK and the one in my town shut down, don't they know I NEED THEM ARGH and poop!

Who knew how painful being lactose intolerant could be huh!!!? Damn. The good thing is I know now so can sort out all this pain and bloating ;)

PS. Social services are happy with us, just really hurtful that someone close to us did it anonymously. We know because of some other irrelevant private info they shared that only a small handful of people knew. Bit of a slap in the face you know? But thanks, am resting when I have to and am walking every other day, so doing about 5km (3 miles) a week at the moment, not a lot but not nothing :)

Are the lactase tabs worth it? Do they really prevent symptoms or do you still get some? :)

2 Lactaid tabs, chewable or capsule style, taken just prior to my first drink/spoonful of dairy completely eradicate all lactose intolerance symptoms for me. I had the full-blown cramping, gas, explosive diarrhea when eating/drinking any dairy (except cheese) without the Lactaid tabs. A Godsend for me. 💗

Also, we have generic store brand Lactaid tabs which are just as effective. From my understanding these tabs are giving you the enzymes to allow your body to digest dairy. As adults, most of us humans, (and cats, weirdly) lose the ability to process milk after about age 20-30 (humans, cats after leaving kittenhood).

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
