Temporary Lactose Intolerance ??

I'm usually a huge milk drinker. I felt yucky most of first trimester. I would make myself eat a small bowl of cereal in morning to ease feeling and take meds with bit of food. I've noticed recently after having glasses of milk the upset stomach returns. I'm starting to suspect a correlation and that maybe the whole time I was eating cereal I was actually making it worse by having milk! Anyone else have reactions to milk while pregnant?

I couldn't drink milk my first trimester without getting really sick. I'm mid third now and can't get enough.

I'm the complete opposite. I was lactose intolerant before I was pregnant and ever since, I can set dairy just fine. It's pretty fantastic. I'm eating so much ice cream and I just drank almost half a gallon of milk with breakfast. I'm trying to get as much as I can because I don't know if it'll last after I have the baby and I only have a few weeks left.

I have a lactose sensitivity as well and since I've been pregnant it has gotten worse. Also with gluten. If I eat gluten my stomach really bloats bad and gets super uncomfortable. I read that pregnancy can aggravate alot of allergies and things like that. Just another plus to add to the long list of pleasantries! Lol

Normally i have mild lactose intolerance( can have a little without it bring a problem)but when i'm pregnant it is really bad. I find i can have things with milk in if it is cooked.

There was a few weeks in my second trimester where I had to switch to soy milk,  because I would get an upset stomach if I drank whole milk.  Now in my third trimester,  my stomach can tolerate milk again. It's just weird,  but I'm happy to be able to drink milk again.  Dunking chocolate chip cookies in soy milk isn't the same! Lol
