Lactos Intolerant?

My Dr. thinks i am lactose intolerant, I have never had problems before. I am 16 days post and now confused on what to eat and drink. My protein drinks suck when made with water. Now what.

Try taking Lactaid.  Or, use soy milk or almond milk.  Or Lactaid Milk.  I have always been lactose intolerant, but I take a Lactaid pill with my first drink of milk and I can drink 2 cups at a time with no problems now.

Lactose intolerance sometimes occurs after RNY because we need an enzyme called lactase to digest lactose, the natural sugar in milk.  Our small pouch doesn't make much lactase.

You can drink soy  milk or almond milk, or purchase a brand of milk like Lactaid, which has the enzyme lactase added to it.  Many people that are lactose intolerant are also able to tolerate raw milk.  Pasteurizing milk destroys the lactase that naturally occurs in milk, so raw milk contains lactase that helps you digest the lactose.

I think it happens to a lot of us. I buy the unsweetened almond milk. Taste pretty good to me! I like it better than the soy milk.

walmart brand lactose free milk tastes pretty darn close to regular milk!! alot cheaper too than name brand. i also keep dairy pills in my purse at all times. i have to double the dose but they help alot too.

Thank you so much. I will try some of these and see how it goes.
