Dairy Intolerance:pinch:

Hey guys and girls,

I havent been around for a while but thought I'd best post here to hear everyones advise,

I have been suffering lately with excessive stomach bloat and discomfort and have nearly narrowed it down to dairy intolerance,
last year end I was sick for a few weeks and was on multiple antibiotics followed by 2weeks away in a malaria area put me on more anti malaria meds and pretty much this whole year I've had this problem. I am going for blood tests this week but thought it would be worth my while to post here and see if anyone else has this problem?

My diet was becoming spot on with 8meals a day with only moderate use of protein shakes but as of now I cant have any whey or dairy so getting the required calories in has been quite a challenge.

Does anyone suffer from dairy intolerence and have any advise to pass on?

thanks in advance

If you are lactose intolerant or allergic to proteins found in dairy your only option is to avoid it.

Try pea protein ?

whey isolate

thanks guys i thought i replied to this but apparently not.
I've been reading a lot about digestive disorders and found out that i might have Coeliac disease, where by gluten blunts the celia lining the intestines making it incredibly hard to absorb nutrients properly.
Due to the damaging of the intestinal lining symptoms of lactose intolerance start to show as your body struggles to breakdown the lactose.

just thought I'd share incase there are others out there who might have this. I hav cut all gluten and dairy for the last 2weeks and bf is dropping and my stomach is a lot more settled.

going to try out some beef and egg proteins in the interim and see how they go! at least i can eat again now!

As DJ says..go for Whey Isolate..the lactose has been removed using a certain process
whey concentrate is packed with lactose..i get bad gas etc when using this...so go for Isolate..its more expensive but should sort your problem out bro

Thanks Snitch,

I've got some whey iso, but I've dropped all supps until my stomach is 100% then will start introducing them slowly again monitoring whats doing what!

Clever!

Hey guys just an update for all interested,

I've completely eliminated all dairy and gluten from my diet since I started having these stomach issues, so far i've lost 8kg in about 6weeks(coming off cycle as it happened wasnt a help) but weird thing is my strenght is about 80% of what it normally is when on cycle which I didnt think was bad at all!

I am finally booked in to see a gastoenterologist next week thursday so hopefully will get to the bottom of this soon, but for the mean time can you guys look at my current diet as I am geting a bit tired of eating the same food day in day out..


Meal 1 6AM: 200g chicken breasts 250g sweet potato

Meal 2 9Am: 200g chicken breasts 250g Normal potato

Meal 3 12.30pm: 200g steak/mince 250g sweet potato

Meal 4 3pm: 100g biltong 2 fruit or 5eggs and fruit

Meal 5 5.30pm: 200g chicken breasts 250g sweet potato (prework out)

Meal 6 8pm 250g Normal potato (post work out)

Meal 7 9.30pm 200g mince/steak and salad


please bear in mind absolutely No dairy or gluten is allowed.
As you can see thats about a kg of potato every day, so was thinking of adding maize meal or some other complex carb source?

Thank you for your help in advance

Meal 4 3pm: 100g biltong 2 fruit or 5eggs and fruit

Meal 5 5.30pm: 200g chicken breasts 250g sweet potato (prework out) You could rather move this post workout and change the sweet potato to normal potato and replace this meal with oatmeal, its gluten free

Meal 6 8pm 250g Normal potato (post work out) swap this one out with meal 5 and as said change it to oatmeal

Meal 7 9.30pm 200g mince/steak and salad

You can also look at basmati rice, its a good source of carbs and easy to eat. Too much potato, I would be crying every day. And maybe some fish somewhere? Get some variety in there, some greens as well.

Nothing like some good old fashioned taters Jim!

Thanks Chapel,

Meal 2 potato is just for variety nothing specific can be changed as well.

Meal 5, since i've stopped all supplementation I started using sweet potato pre work out and for some reason being mentally or not I get super pumped and train hard each time, so I attributed this to the sweet potato. and also with the diet as is im only hitting +-2500cal max so by dropping a meal there goes like 400cal :pinch:


Whu would you hav me drop that meal? then i wouldnt hav any nutrients for 5hrs from my tea time snack at 3pm til post work out at 8pm? :ohmy:

I will look into oatmeal, thanks! is that different to normal oats?

Not dropping it. Moving it.

Have you ever considered eating for your blood type? What is your blood type? If it's O, then you should be avoiding dairy in any case.

If cash isnt a problem, muscle meds sells Beef Protein... Thats that carnivore thing they always advertise in Kai vids.
Heard alot of good things about people using that when dairy intolerance.
