Lactaid Milk or unsweetened soy milk. Or take a probiotic or even beeno with milk and that will often help. I got wicked sick last night on SF jello, protein powder(supposedly lactose free) and lactaid milk. It was the worst pain I have felt since childbirth...All better today...That was awful! I am becoming totally sensitive to SF sweeteners. It just started and I think I am now full blown allegic to apertame or whatever is in that SF jello...THAT STINKS for me! I use it alot for desserts! :::Sniffles::::

Most people have problems with milk or dairy after surgery. I would stay away from dairy if you can. At least for the first few weeks. Are you eating the same things everyday? Can you find a food that might be triggering it? I would stay with bland foods and stay away from dairy, sugars, etc. If you're drinking juice, then cut it with water to dilute it a lot. Not sure if that helps, but if you want to write me and tell me some of the things you've been eating or trying then I'll be happy to tell you if anything stands out that might be causing the issue. Upset tummies are typical during your first few months so hang in there. You'll figure out what foods you can and can't eat.

its been 4 years for me and i still cant do dairy. do your protein drinks with water. why are you drinking so much milk? it adds too many calories to your protien shakes.
