Post-op lactose intolerance



Recommended Posts

Anyone else experiencing this? I was able to drink milk 3 days out of surgery and had no problems, but over the past week I've been feeling a little odd and yesterday and today I did a bit of a test - sure enough, dairy seems to be the trigger to causing a bloated, gassy feeling. Which is an absolute pain in the neck, since cheese sticks have been such a handy on-the-go workaround and pre-op I included a lot of dairy in my meals.

From what I read this sometimes goes away the further post-op you get, but right now is a real wrench in my Protein intake plan. I can switch sources, it's just that lentils and chicken salad aren't anywhere near as conveniently portable as cheese and yogurt. Damn. Any suggestions for good, non-dairy protein that can travel? I've found some 2oz tubs of hummus, but could do with a little variety.

What about the turkey snack bites from Old Wisconsin? I like them with a cheese stick for a snack but of course you could substitute something non dairy.
