DonnaB 3 Posted June 18, 2006 They'll take my milk from me when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Even if I DID switch to fat free skim milk! Hrumph. I agree with Jachut: I think it pays to remember doctors have their own biases, misinformation or beliefs on what constitutes a healthy diet - what consitutes perfect human nutrition is not something anybody has the answer to. I think its up to all of us to consider what our doctors tell us, but fit it in with our own personal needs and beliefs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eficka 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Hello everybody, I was just reading through and see that some of you mix the Protein Drinks with milk. I read an article where its explained that you should never mix Protein Powder with milk.Only Water. Its because of some enzymes in your stomach,if it is made with milk you probably get only half of the Protein, because the protein would be digested in your intestines instead starting the digestion in your stomach.The stomach enzym is pepsin and it is good to digest the Proteins.< /p> I would post the article but its in Czech :-)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lianna 3 Posted June 21, 2006 Eficka, interesting info! I usually use Water anyway just save calories, plus I cant tell that much difference in the taste, lol. I get my Calcium from fatfree cottage cheese and a daily Viactiv calcium chew or 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitteroldhag 0 Posted June 24, 2006 My fill nurse made me start taking lactobacillus even thought I've drunk milk my whole life. Also she advised taking food enzymes because I was having clay colored stools. Well, I don't have those anymore and I don't have much gas. I'm pretty old and apparently have developed lactose intolerance due to age. The pills are expensive, but I'm a lot easier for other people to be around these days.

Tricia K. 0 Posted June 24, 2006 To THIS semi-lactose intolerant old lady, 16 ounces of milk is my WEEK's supply of what goes in my coffee. (I don't use it in any other context right now.) So, "moderation" can be very subjective. (I would be SOOO sick on 16 ounces a DAY.)You're right, it is very subjective. I'm so happy that I'm not lactose-intolerent.
