Lactose intolerance?

[carberello]

has anyone else become lactose intolerant after surgery?

I only use skimmed milk and have for years but I now find anything more than a drop in tea makes me feel ill.

Checking the sugar content revealed it to be 5% and I'm not sure thats a dumping level or not. Any ideas?

Im going to try lactose free for a week or so and see how that goes

I found for the first month and a bit milk made me ill and I had pain in my tummy. It thankfully is fine now and I can have 2-3 glasses a day if I wanted (never tried more than that)
I went on to the lactose free but got told off by my team. Also I found it still cause me till not feel 100%
Hopefully in time you will be fine as with many foods you can't manage now x
