Lately I have noticed certain symptoms after I have eaten things like cheese. I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with dairy products after surgery, when they did not have any problems with it prior??

I became lactose intolerant after surgery. I can eat cheese and yogurt, but I don't tolerate milk at all. I don't like milk, so I don't miss it. I use almond milk as a substitute when I need milk for something.

A lot of people seem to have similar symptoms. If you searched, you would likely find a bunch of information.

My RNY was in 2005 and about a year after surgery I became lactose intolerant. I now take this daily over the counter supplement and can eat any cheese and dairy product now.

I don't have the problem but my surgeon warned me that it's very common

I have dairy allergy ~ all dairy, even cheese, whey, or yogurt.

Aww, I just asked about this in the menu post! I had a dumping-like episode after a glass of milk last night. It's never happened before and I'll be sad if I can't drink milk again.

Dumping on milk- = dumping on milk sugar... it is not the same as lactose intolerance. if yo try to drink lactose free milk- and dump - then you would known you just dump on liquid sugar or are lactose intolerant..

I need to get me some Lactaid and test this out. I am not (to this point) a dumper so it was very distressing. LOL

I have to drink milk slowly or I dump. 8 ounces over 20 minutes or so. It also helps to drink Fairlife brand. Has more protein and also lactose free. I think the protein helps balance the sugar.
