Whey Intolerance Questions
Okay... before surgery, my only food intolerance was raw onions. Since surgery, I have become extremely whey intolerant. I understand that I can take lactaid and I will try that (although the symptoms have been so extreme that I'm almost afraid of trying).
My surgeon says that this is true lactose intolerance, that it is common, and that it is always temporary (going away around six months' out). Obviously, there are other causes of lactose intolerance, such as IBS and allergies.
But, for those of you who developed lactose intolerance after surgery, did it go away? When? How did you find out?

Whey and lactose are two different things. Whey is a form of protein found in milk. Lactose is a form of sugar found in milk.
If you are lactose intolerant, lactaid might help. If whey is the problem, then lactaid won't help.
If you are lactose intolerant, then any whey isolate protein powder should actually be fine because whey isolate is lactose free.
If you are whey intolerant, a soy protein powder would be better. You can mix it in soy milk.

Well, I guess it could be both.

I was slightly sensative to lactose pre op and full blown intolerant since. I am 7 months out and haven't tried milk in 6 1/2 months so I don't know if it's gone away or not. I can eat yogurt and cottage cheese, but not ricotta cheese or milk or pudding. I have no idea if that is crazy or not because I'm to lazy to look up the lactose in those products. I just learned to not eat them.
