Lactose intolerant??

Question

I'm not sure if I have a lactose intolerant now that pregnant. I have been craving cereal and didn't really drink milk before being pregnant.  I feel like I have horrible sharp gas pains after having too much milk. Don't notice it with cheese or other dairy. Anyone else have this happen and if so what are some other products that you substituted for milk that aren't horrible.

Answer

I was lactose intolerant before pregnancy. For me cheese doesn't bother me but milk, ice cream stuff like that are horrible to me haha. I buy Lactose Free milk. There are tons of brands, just read the carton before you buy. You can drink that with no problems at all. Same with ice cream, heavy cream..etc. I also buy Lactose Free pills (chewables) they usually lable them as Dairy Pills. I buy store brand, and if I go out to eat and want to eat anything with cream or dairy in it then I chew a couple pills and enjoy my food.

The lactose free milk has no different taste than regular milk. You can also buy almond milk, soy milk (but I read to limit soy during pregnancy...)

Answer

With my first pregnancy I threw up after each time I had milk. Eventually I started drinking almond milk. I didn't throw up when I drank that.
