Milk

[Bianca S. 195]

Does milk mess with anyone after VSG? I use to be able to have milk but then I had to switch to Fairlife which is lactose free. I was fine after surgery with regular milk up until December I started to not feel well resulting in Sweating, feeling nauseous wanting to throw up and having to use the bathroom. Just wondering if this is normal.... reason for bringing it up is I got a coffee and forgot to ask with coconut milk instead of regular and now I’m having all those symptoms right before I have to be at work in 20mins.

developing lactose intolerance after surgery is not uncommon, but I'm a little surprised it didn't happen right away. Although I suppose food intolerance can happen at any time to people - and may or may not be related.

I just got tested and was positive for a whey allergy which I didn’t have before surgery so I think it’s definitely possible to develop lactose intolerance. You can try some lactaid pills to help maybe but just make sure it’s an intolerance and not an allergy.
