milk = gas

[Goat Ass]

i rely heavily on milk (4 quarts/day) since it is convenient to obtain at my workplace. it, however, gives me serious gas. advice? if i take some of those lactose pills, will the flatulence cease?

you might be lactose intollerant.

I had to drop milk.

yes get a digestive enzyme clears it right up. For lactose, its lipase I think. I think its those pills you are reffering to. I take a dygestive enzyme formula in am and PM and I'm doing great, had the same prob now its all good. if it contenues get a pill that is more comprehensive, mine have enzymes for lactose, carbs, fat, and protien. any excess of those can cause gas.

I have found that for me higher fat milk is more digestable than 1 or 2 percent. Whole milk I am fine with but 1% makes me miserable.

I'm the opposite huskyguy. high fat for me causes gas more than anything, one day I couldn't find a spoon for my fish oil, and i took to big of a gulp and I was in perpetual cropdust mode all day.

I'm a certified lactose intolerance guy
but I went against that and filled myself with milk 24/7. Sure, I had bad reactions like gas and the bathroom being your bestfriend but as my body got used to it, it acts pretty normal and no more side effects. I don't take those pills either..

so it's a matter of getting used to it for me...

The enzyme is Lactase. It breaks lactose into glucose and galactose. A majority of non-northern european decentants have a level of intolerance. If the disacharide (sp) is not broken into parts it never crosses the small intestine into the blood. It is then fermented by bacteria. This produces the gas. Some people have small symptoms others get it real real bad (nausea, diherra, pain)
Take the pills, they're chalky but should do the trick.

Lactose or not, protein in general gives me gas. ever since i started bodybuilding and taking in about 300g. of protein a day, ive been known for my distinct smell. But, if its just the milk, my buddy takes a pill as well and it works fine for him. He gets his at vitamin world.

yeah, the lactase pills helped everything. only thing i'm worried about is becoming truly lactose intolerant. i mean, i'm ok if i have a glass of milk or an ice cream cone or something. it's just the full gallon i can't handle.

true, not many can handle a full gallon. But, arent there different levels of lactose intolerance? My bro is lactose(so he says) and he can have some dairy, but not lots without a pill.

I dont know but when i started eating 3 cans of beans a day i had massive gas problems for about 2 weeks. Then it went away.
