Lactose Intolerance questions couple years out

I had surgery in Nov 2011.

I am wondering about lactose intolerance and if that has gotten worse for anyone a long while post op?

 

If i drink milk in a protein shake (rarely do those these days) it is lactose free, but lately, yogurt, hard cheese, SF Coffee creamer, everything seems to make me mildly nauseaus and i'm having 'other issues' as well.  All things that I have tolerated just fine up until now.  The only change is a move to a new city (stressful) but nothing else 'new'.

 

I am seeing a doctor but he is not an RNY doc - i just moved to a new city and i don't have a doc like that up here - at least not yet!

anyway, this doc has done blood test (all normal) and is doing a couple other things, but i'm wondering if this could be just a dairy thing - would you bring this up on your next visit? or am i crazy?

I thought I was getting lactose intolerant a year or so ago (my surgery date is close to yours)... ends up it was my gall bladder crapping out.

But even now after it's out and I'm much happier, I wonder... milk and dairy can make me a bit oogly still.

I developed dairy allergy a few years post op - allergy to dairy proteins - whey and casein.  

But, it can also be a GB issue.

Friendly suggestion to try a new milk option on the grocery store shelves called FAIRLIFE.
