Milk

I am 4 months out and all of a sudden I can't tolerate milk. Is this normal to have it happen this far out?? I could do it in the beginning, now I just get really gassy from it and my tummy hurts. Is that what what happens when you can't tolerate it anymore??

I am so bummed!!

I'm a milk drinker and right after surgery, up till about a month ago I couldn't tolerate it. I would also get gassy and have diarrhea with abdominal cramping. So I found some lactose pills that you only had to take once a day and that helped alot. Now I have no problems again with drinking milk.

it does sound like maybe you have a problem with milk now. You should try taking lactaid before drinking milk and see if it helps any.

I'm 14 months out and occassionally I get dumping syndrome and end up in the bathroom as a result of drinking milk...which I put in my cocoa every morning. I think an intollerance can develope at any time in the game myself. Either switch to lactose free, soy or get some lactose intolerance pills to help you if it continues to be a problem. Good luck to you!

I agree with you that it is odd that this is occuring 4 months out? Have you discussed it with your Doc.

Have you changed anything like the brand of milk the type of milk or where you buy it from?

Is it just milk or all milk products like yogurt and cheese too?

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
