v bad stomach cramps/diarrohea on milk diet

[starry]

HI Guys
Day 3 of milk diet and since late on day 1 have had bad cramps and the runs.

Thought I was getting used to it but still Very BAD - Spoke to dietician she thinks I am probably lactose intolerant when it comes to that amount of milk and to try Soya - but OMG Gag Gag Gag that is not possible will call her again tomorrow but god I feel awful

Any Ideas

There are other diets that could be looked at - I have the choice between milk diet or a food diet, which is basically salad and veg. She should be able to offer alternative diets.

Have a look in the recipes section for a thread called 'pre-op diets, what was yours and how was it really' for alternative diets. There are a fair few on there! I was given an 800cal one to do which is in there.

Liz, how was your tum before you started the pre op??? Maybe you had an underlying tummy bug thats just decided to rear its ugly head ,as I've heard that there's one going around. If this was the case then the milk will curdle and cause you to have the runs. If not then the lactose intolerence could be the cause and you may need to change your pre op diet. Good luck and I hope your tum settles soon.

Hope you feel better soon Starry. You could do CD for your pre op diet if you have done that before with no problems.

There is the new lactofree milk as well, which is supposed to taste like regular milk but without the lactose.

I did CD. I had 8 days notice of my op and it worked for me!
