try using gas-x or beano for gas. Lactaid may also help, but is usually best to treat bloating or diarrhea, so you might still need gas-x or Beano anyway. All are over-the-counter, I'd try them out and see what works for you.

Good luck!

I had to switch to soy milk. Try silk or lactaid

The powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Whey Protein is good choice if you are super lactose intolerant. It was the only Protein powder i could tolerate the first couple of weeks post-op. The chicken flavor can be mixed with Water.
