littlewhistler Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi - I introduced Dairy today (first reintroduction). I had a 150ml pot of 0% organic natural yogurt and a 40g lump of smoked cheddar with my lunch. Within an hour my stomach gurgled, bloated and I had to move urgently to spend 15 minutes on the loo. Does that prove anything? Could it just be a fluke? Is it worth waiting a few days and doing it again or should I just move onto another reintroduction? I am OK now except for a bit of tummy bloating. I wasn't aware of any specific intolerance before I did my W30 but afternoon or evening rushes to the loo were not unknown but I have never noticed any particular pattern. BTW I have never drunk milk on it's own, only as an ingredient which is why I tried cheese and yogurt. Should I man up and drink a glass of milk?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2015 Since you had no prior suspicion of problems with dairy, I would go back to Whole30-compliance for two days and then try dairy again to see if you get another bout of gurgle and bloat. If you slip by without a problem, you can call the first instance a fluke. If it happens again, you will know that you have an issue. It could be the yogurt or the cheese or both. A few more people have trouble with cheese than with yogurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlewhistler Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks Tom. I'll have another go another day. Tbh I am not fussed about eating dairy anymore (which had surprised me) and I didn't particularly enjoy what I had (though I did pick things I wasn't that fussed about). It's more about can I tolerate a bit of hidden dairy when I eat out like cream in mash potato. Same with gluten. I did notice I was very cravey afterwards and dived into a small punnet of cherries later in the day. I think they are something I won't buy again because they were like sweets to me.

Alix B. Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 For what it's worth, these are some of the same symptoms I get with dairy! For me, cutting it out entirely has been the way to go (and hasn't even been that hard!) YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I also notice that I handle full fat dairy better than low/non-fat dairy. So if you decide to try again I agree separate the cheese and the yogurt and try full fat yogurt rather than 0%. Nutrients that are in dairy are all fat soluble anyway.
