The Ice Cream Queen is lactose intolerant!

[LBTC]

Simple,
my lactose intolerance is mild, consisting of bloating after eating things like cheese or milk and even a tiny bit after eating a good yogurt.

when I drink Accelerade the bloating is quite noticeable. If you have a worse reation to lactose, you may find this one quite difficult!

I switched to soy protein, but it means mixing it with other stuff to get a drinkable pre or post workout drink. I mixed it with yogurt, soy milk, frozen berries and orange juice - I got the recipe from a fitness magazine.

Namaste,

That's actually what I have been doing, so I think I'll stick with that. I usually blend up some soy milk, bananas, and soy protien powder as a pre ride shake, and whatever I have around with soy protien after the ride (applesauce, yogurt, orange juice, etc)

Thanks for the Accelerade info. I'm glad I've steered clear.

you're welcome, simple! no need for you to suffer the consequences, too!

I don't have any personal experience with this, but ... my sister has a pretty serious acid reflux problem and dairy products are the worst thing for her. She says cheese doesn't seem to bother her, ice cream seems to be the worst, and other dairy products fall in between. Don't know if it's actually the lactose that causes the problem (but I s'pose that would make sense).

As for the ice cream problem ... just spent the long weekend with said sister and her family ... my nephew is lactose-intolerant ... we had Breyers lactose-free ice cream for dinner Sunday night. My nephew said he has no problem at all with it. So consider that option. Don't know if they make it any flavors other than vanilla ... but there's always chocolate syrup.

Good luck!

Sorry I took so long getting back. The results are in. I have a hiatel (sp) hernia and acid reflux. So now I am on these pills every day and still can't eat ice cream or STRONG coffee with cream (yum yum).

Now it's just time for some adjustments. That's ok, becuase I have let myself get as big as a house. I'm not even riding as much as I used to. I want all of that to change. So now my cupboards are bare and I am scanning the nutrition threads for ideas. It may be time for me to see a nutritionalist. Sigh....so many needs, so little cash!
