I'm currently pregnant, and I receive Wic for bothme and my 1 and a half year old. He gets whole milk and I get 1% milk. I try to stick to the 1% but it always gives me a belly ache and gas, sometimes nausea. But I can drink the same amount of the whole milk and it doesn't do that. But if I drink too much whole milk it will. But usually I stick to a glass in the morning and maybe a glass later on. And evedytime the 1% milk gives me gas and a belly ache, but the whole milk doesn't even when drinking the same amount of whole as I do the 1% milk. What could cause me to have the gas and belly ache sometimes nausea, with the 1% but not the whole milk? When I eat ice cream it also gives me gas and a belly ache. I love milk, especially chocolate milk, and I would hate to have to stop drinking it. Is there something I should do or could do that could help out? The Wic office won't change my milk unless my doctor said so and I'm still waiting for Medicaid so I can't see my doctor yet, so I wanted to see what others thought. Any help/advice is appreciated.
