So, 5 weeks out of surgery and I think I have milk/dairy/lactose intolerance if i have a tiny bit of any of these my body almost goes into shock. I need the toilet. Sweat dizzy can sometimes struggle to walk! Anyone else had this

I'm not an expert as I didn't have this issue with my own surgery, but I have heard of some people becoming lactose intolerant after surgery.

You'll probably need to discuss it with your surgeon or personal physician for guidance.

I happened to me I can only use lactaid milk and take lactose tablets if I had something with regular dairy.

So I rang my GP and he said that its "dumping syndrome" worst thing ever

So the dumping may be from the lactose but it could also be from the sugar content of the milk. Are you consuming less than 16g of sugar? I heard that is about the threshold however that is probably even lower directly after surgery.

Yes I became Lactose intolerant after my RNY in July of 2013. It sounds like you are experiencing this also. Or maybe the dumping syndrome I'm not a DR by no means so You should talk to your Dr to be sure.
