After Being Sleeved I Am Lactose Intolerant

[strudel 0]

I was sleeved in January 2012. Since then everytime I eat or drink anything with milk products I become very sick. I start throwing up and having bad cramps followed up by diarrhea. Has anyone had any problems such as mine?

I did for about the first 4-5 months. I started taking lactaid with my lactose foods. I now dont have this problem anymore....thank God because I am a dairy-holic. I hope that things will change for you too....have you tried taking lactaid?

I switched to light soy milk before surgery - just in case. Now I can't stand the taste of my Syntrax Nectar shakes if I make them with skim milk.

I had this same problem from 3 months post op. Drinking 2% or full fat Lactaid milk helped. I also switched from fat free to 2% or full fat yogurt. If I can't find full fat lactaid milk I add h&h or heavy cream. It does the trick! Fortunately for me, cheese (full fat of course) never became a problem.

I love lactaid! It tastes just like milk with out the poohs!!! I freeze them into ice cubes and add them to my Protein drinks!

I was lactose intolerant for first couple of months, was told it was perfectly normal. I also use lactaid but it seems to be getting better.
