strudel 0 Posted September 6, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassygirl06 962 Posted September 6, 2012 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?

kimbernada 190 Posted September 21, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelaEEEE 24 Posted October 19, 2012 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.

fyre_storm 1,412 Posted October 19, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takroom 192 Posted November 5, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
