Lactose Intolerance

[Souledout 31]

Ok I know this might sound stupid, but what does lactose intolerance feel like? I have been eating a lot of dairy and the last 2 days I've felt kinda queasy. Today, I threw up part of my RTD Protein Shake

It can be different for different poeple. But one definable sign is lots of gas that will clear a room.

I've been lactose intolerant since I was a teenager and I've never felt queasy or any kind of indigestion from it. But yes, I've cleared entire subway cars with the gaseous results.

I felt what you felt - uneasy stomach and a light cramping. No gas but a lot of rumbling. Best way to find out is to cut out dairy for the next 48 hours and see how you feel on day 3.

Good luck! PS - my lactose intolerance went away at 4 months, until then - soy milk or lactose free milk from the health food store

For me, all day nausea, horrible gas, stomach cramping and discomfort, followed by really bad bathroom issues.

It's horrible.

RTD Protein drinks, even lactose free ones, make me horribly ill. I used to love Oh Yeah or Muscle Milk but they make me so sick I can't stand it.

I stick to Syntrax Nectars and mix with Water, coffee, tea, soy milk or juice.

The good news is that my intolerance has gotten much better the farther out from surgery I get. I still can't drink a glass of cow's milk, but I can tolerate cheeses, a small amount of yogurt or ice cream, cream sauces if they aren't too rich, and most important to me: a splash of cream in my coffee.

I became somewhat lactose intolerant after surgery as well- for me I was nauseated, vomited and had terrible cramping.. totaly wasnt worth it- I made the switch to almond or hazelnut milk as I dont care for the soy and since becoming a vegetarian as well beign post op I only eat cheese and or yogurt once a week.

But becoming lactose intolerant seems to be a common thing with this procedure- My surgeon forwarned me ahead of time as well of the possiblity- I was never a milk drinker per say but I loved me some cheese.
