Got Milk? Maybe Not.

Okay, so has anyone found issues with food after losing weight? I have discovered that I am lactose intolerant. Every once in a while I'll have a light Frappucino or some frozen yogurt from Golden Spoon (hardly any points) and I always get a stomach ache about an hour after eating or drinking. Very strange. Is is a lactose problem, or a fake lactose problem since I'm not eating things with whole milk in them. I gave up the Frappucinos about a month ago, but it's sad to give up "The Spoon" as my Dad likes to call it. I really enjoyed their peanut butter froyo. C'est la vie! Let me know if you've had any similar problems. I'm curious if it's just me. Thanks!

That stinks! How strange is it that you are figuring this out now? I think there are tablets out there that lactose intolerant people can take before eating things like froyo to help them digest it. Might be worth a try...

Wow - I have noticed the same exact thing! If I eat any kind of ice cream, or pizza I feel soooo sick afterwards. It's like my body can't get rid of the toxins fast enough. I can't say that I've rid my diet of these things 100%, but there is NO WAY that I can eat them like I used to. (nor do I want to!!)

I think that (for myself) I had lots of problems - but I couldn't start to see them and take care of them until the weight came off - so for me - they were there all the time - just in too big a volume to start to see. It wasn't until I felt GOOD all the time - on a regular basis - that I started to notice trends - when I didn't feel well.

I think that I felt really lousy with all the extra weight - but since I didn't have days without a lot of pain - I just didn't know it.

I know as I've gotten older, definitely an increase in lactose intolerant. Not from the wt loss I don't think. I thought it was from a time when we were living in the islands and I was drinking milk as it tasted funny and real pricey there and when I came back to the states, boom, I had a problem with dairy.
I haven't tried the pills you take like, beano. I wonder if they work. I do drink some lactose free milk but I haven't found an ice cream of that sort. I love the lt. frappo's too so it's a bummer.
