Hi there! This is a little bit gross.. I recently went off dairy products as I thought it would help in my weight loss. I was previously a total dairy addict! I have been off it now for a week and 2 days after quitting I've been getting the runs really bad! I'm not sure if it has anything to do with quitting dairy, otherwise I feel pretty good besides to cravings. Has anyone else experienced this?
THANKS!

What did you replace the dairy with?0

Sounds like an intolerance to your substitute
Perhaps you should switch back0 -
It has nothing to do with quitting dairy, probably coincidental, unless you decided to replace dairy with something that happens to not agree with your stomach. You really don't need to go off dairy to lose weight. I drink 2-3 glasses of milk every day + other dairy products like yogurts and cheese. They help me stay full and reach my protein goal. My weight loss is consistent and I consume food from all groups and sources.0

Look at the ingredient list of your replacement beverage. If it contains carrageenan, that may be the culprit. My son had a similar situation when he started drinking a lot of soy milk that contained carrageenan. He started making his own soy milk and the problem went away.0

Dairy doesn't prevent bowel problems. As others have said, this might be related to a food you have replaced dairy with (have you added anything new to your diet). Or it could be unrelated.

Carrageenan. Is this in your ingredients list? It makes me 100% sick for hours.
Skim milk has protein and calcium that a girls body needs. Not that evil.0 -

I really think your body is detoxing and adjusting to the change.

Can you clarify this?0 -

So, people should not drink milk because cows weigh more than humans. Solid logic, but not surprising since you also suggest a detox...0 -

Well, a calf drinks 1-2 gallons per day. Something tells me the OP isn't consuming quite that much.0 -

That's a calf drinking full cream milk........if you consumed as many calories per day as a calf did you'd get up there too.....Pretty2Petite wrote: »Hi there! This is a little bit gross..

vegetable purees are used to double, sometimes triple, the weight of a human being in a year! Ban all vegetables!0 -

Detoxing what exactly?0 -
My son and I both have OP's reaction when consuming soy-based beverages. I'd look into the substitute. I also eat dairy as part of my plan. As long as you count the calories as part of the goal, there's no problem with dairy; it's a good source of calcium and protein.0

I'm down for banning some... I mean cauliflower... that *kitten* can just go straight away. No one needs that in their life. I've never tasted a veg that tasted so much like sadness in my life.0
