Could be the sugars,milk has a natural sugar in it.Try rice milk or soya if it doesnt change.

Plus a lot of people become lactose intolerant for a few months immediately post op. Are other milky drinks affecting you?

Sarah try watering them down and see if that helps. But as Shelbel says some people can become lactose intolerant for a short period after surgery, i did however my symptoms manifested with a very sore bum and multiple fast runs to the loo....

Touch wood shel i seem to be ok with the milk when i drink it on it's own. I looked at the back of the fortimel drink and the sugar does seem alittle high. I might try watering it down as julie has suggested..thanks x
