Question:
Is it okay to take Lactaid occasionally after surgery?

I know this will should stupid to some. I am lactose intolerate now since surgery. I do take extra calcium supplements, but I miss yogurt. I have tried Lactaid once to see if it would help. I could tolerate milk when I took it. I would love to eat some yogurt occasionally, but worry about taking the lactaid. Can we occasionally take it, and if so how often to be on the safe side?    — june22 (posted on April 28, 2004)

I became lactose intollerant AFTER surgery ... I dont do milk but yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese doesnt seem to be a problem. Also the carbo solutions (same thing as lactaid) is good too and HIGHER in protein. Go ahead and try the yogurt (the sugar free kind) Im sure you'll do fine... most do

I also became Lactose intolorant after surgery. I use Lactaid milk and take a Lactaid pill before cottage cheese or yogurt and it works great...Good Luck
