lactose intolerance postop?

I usually have yogurt with high-protein cereal for breakfast. Lately it has been giving me terrible stomachaches, diarrhea and gas. I thought that maybe I was becoming lactose intolerant, so I starting taking those Lactaid tablets. Sometimes they help, sometimes now. I just dont feel very good after eating yogurt anymore. I dont like to eat much in the morning, ever since I had my gallbladder out years ago, my stomach is funny in the morning. Anyone have this? Any suggestions?

Hi Jennifer, I am lactose interolent also. I now use Lactaid Fat Free "milk" . I guess its not milk but wow you could sure fool me. I haven't tried it plain yet for just a drink. I do start most days out with a protein shake I use one scoop of powder and 4 ice cubes and 1/2 cup of lactaid (or sometimes 8 ounces of lactaid minus ice) and mix in my Magic Bullet. Yum. I think it comes out like a McDonalds Thick Shake. I also use it in my cereal. 1/2 cup at a time. I have had no problems. I make my fat free/ sugar free puddings with it also and use the blender. It is a little more costly but I figure I'm not going to Fast Food Joints anymore. Plus I am worth it I don't like yogurt anyway and I don't seem to have a problem with fat free cheese or cheese sticks. I never took those tablets but if they are big I think I would crush them. They get in your system better I think. Good Luck. See You Around !! Roxanne
