Regular milk used to give me heartburn/indigestion and flatulence. After I started taking Lactaid milk, my heartburn went away completely but I still am farting a lot! I'm drinking whole milk Lactaid as opposed to non-fat or low-fat Lactaid because I want the extra calories to gain weight and bulk up. I assume the gas is due to the milkfat, but it could be possible non-fat milk gives me the same problem.
Either way...
Any quick fixes here that will still allow me to drink whole milk? Can I fix this problem by taking a digestive supplement such as probiotics or digestive enzymes? I've tried taking Digest-Gold, a medley or enzymes from Enzymedica, but it doesn't seem to help much. Perhaps I'm not taking the right enzymes?
On the flipside, should I consider the flatulence as a sign that my body is begging for an alternative to milk?
Thanks
