lactose intolerance

[tinyguy2]

I am lactose intolerant (it gives me terrible gas) does that mean when i drink skim milk im only digesting the protein? so basically milk drinking for me would be like drinking pure protein? or can i not diget any of it. Thoughts. thanks

i thought that if you were lactose intolerant you couldn't drink any dairy products

my friend has this problem and he drinks soy milk

you can get the protien from that without the digestive problems

not really to familiar with this but heres my 2 cents anyways, good luck

you cant digest the sugar(lactose). soy milk isnt really good for you from what i hear...thats for hippies anyway...the only one who complains about the gas is my girlfriend and who cares what she thinks

They sell milk for lactose intolerant individuals, try it.

Well if your lactose intolerant you wouldnt just get gas from milk. You would have diahrrea and possibly upset stomach. Your body doesnt produce enough lactase to digest the lactose. You can try taking a digestive enzme with lactase in it if you like. But are you sure you are actually lactose intolerant?

well i have gas and take huge dumps everytime i drink milk...i'm taking a guess.. i might get an upset stomach i dont really pay attention. but my question isnt that...if i was lactose intolerant that means i would only be digesting the protein right?

Im lactose intolerant also so I asked the same thing before and didnt get a straight answer, so i tried to cut with skim milk (like 1/2 gallon ED) and belive me it wasnt worth it, feeling bloated all the time and almost shitting on my pants. I guess it wasnt that smart. So I guess that yes You would just get the protein and not the sugar but I dont advice it
