Milk makes me gasy in cream soup..suggestions please

alice · January 9, 2005

I am at day 6 post op and can have some cream Soup, but milk makes me so gassy. It never made me gassy before.

I am still drinking broth and eatting yogurt. Anything else I can have at this point? It seems even Water gives me a gas bubble, is this normal?

Warm stuff is the best it seems.

Thanks for any help.

Alice trying cutting the milk in half and use Water to fill in.

Worked for me...but then I'm a guy and the gas was a badge of honor.

Part of me wants to say, "Get used to it," because so many of us have problems with gas post-banding. See the "Burping and farting" thread. But I realize that isn't too helpful, so I guess you could try 1) making your own Soup and substituting soy milk for dairy milk 2) chewing some Dairy-Ease and/or Beano tablets with your first bite of soup. You can find both at your drugstore or grocery store. Good luck!

Campbells Soup at hand doesn't require additional milk. I used soymilk. Gax-X may help.

Alice..Sorry to say this but everything is going to make you gassy that did not before, so get used to it. Many of us here have posted on how much more gas we have now then ever before prior to banding. Sorry But true

Yep, get use to just toot, toot, tooting along. sugar free popcicles were a blessing for me. Errrr s/f Jello, never again, done with that I hope for ever.

My son has Crohn's disease and milk is really hard on him and makes him very gassy so he usually uses Lactaid or Mocha Mix (which comes in fat free) and that helps him a lot. I've been pretty fortunate so far, but haven't had a lot of milk stuff as of yet since my banding.

Good luck!
