Err, wtf?

[rachel.]

What is up with my stomach?!

I just ate 1/2c of cottage cheese with splenda and cinnamon and my stomach is making all these noises -- like gas bubbles popping in my stomach. Not pretty.


I'm trying to decide if its the splenda or the cottage cheese... I've been having splenda in my water w/lemon all day... but I also had cheddar cheese this morning. So is it dairy or splenda?? :blink:

[Erik]

I've read people having some issues like that with Splenda. Do you get this when you eat cottage cheese normally?

[Erin]

Rachel, I get this every once in a while when I eat cc. It happens maybe once a month or two. Then I lay off the cc for a few days and I'm fine. If I don't, the pains get worse. Almost like a dairy build-up...but that just sounds too weird. :dry:

[spicy~d]

Most likely the Splenda.
You will be farting soon!

I get the same thing at night too... but again, I have splenda AND cottage cheese in my oatmeal :oops:

I dont think I've ever had just plain cottage cheese.

hmm now that's something I've never heard before


Do you think its dairy or cottage cheese? I'm trying to think of a protein source I could stick in my oatmeal at night instead...

Hmm, maybe if I reduce the amounts I have (I have a cup a day) do you think the side effects will go away?

[Erin]

I would try eliminating the splenda and see if you notice a difference. If not then eliminate or reduce the cc. I can only tolerate 1/2 cup a day on most days...sadly.
You can't have pp or other meats?

As of right now, no PP, but definitely other meats and things!

I'll see what happens if I decrease cc to 1/4c at night.


Any good protein sources I can sub in as snacks besides eggs? I eat like, 3 a day for breakfast lol

hmmm, all my protein comes from meat, cc, and pp. I occascially have eggs but not often.
They do have Lactaid Cottage cheese but it does have an aftertaste and I wouldn&#39;t eat it unless it was totally mixed with something else...boy, that probably makes you want to run right out and buy it, huh? :funny:

hahaha oh baby do I ever&#33; Mmmm foul-tasting cc... sign me up&#33;&#33; :p


But during the afternoon at work... I was thinking of picking up some black or kidney beans and make this: http://food.cookinglight.com/cooking/recip...ecipe_id=577244 (http://food.cookinglight.com/cooking/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=577244)


But other than that I&#39;m at a loss... I eat eggs in the morning, chicken for lunch... geezus all I have is chicken, eggs, tuna/salmon and cc :lol: Does ricotta count as protein? Or would that upset my stomach too?


What do you all pack for afternoon snackies at work?

[rachel.]

update: just ate a piece of cheese and my stomach is making those weird noises again :( I have a doctors apt this week neways but it looks like the culprit is dairy? :(

How come I didnt feel anything from the cheddar this morning then?

Is there something I can take to help? Lactaid? :blink:

If people are getting issues from cheese that they are saying is lactose, think again. Cheese does not contain adequate lactose to make that much of a difference.

It could be the protein, it could just be random stuff, it could be a worm the size of your arm curling its way through your colon

mmhmm big mistake.. I made it once.. Naturopath said I was sensitive to dairy, I took it as lactose intolerance.. till I got pulled up by a clever guy... oops...

I&#39;m ok with my little bit of cheese now.. and my protein shake.. but I wasn&#39;t for some time.. not sure how that one figures.. but so far so good...

have you tried mixing your egg whites in your oatmeal? as in... while its cooking.. I used to do that with my rice porridge.. it doesn&#39;t taste like eggs.. tastes kinda nice actually...with the splenda and some blueberries..

[accismus]

Can you eat some carbs? Protein by itself on an empty stomach never agrees with me.

WHEY and CASEIN allergies are common--and often mistaken as a lactose allergy.
so one thinks they are fine with protien powders or cottage cheese, etc and still have problems.

[rachel.]

hmmm you know... it might be a whey allergy.

I&#39;ll see what my doctor says... although knowing her she&#39;ll think I&#39;m overreacting (which I have a history of doing -- I jump to conclusions too often lol)

Thanks everyone :)

Just a quick q: can i use ricotta cheese as a source of protein? or is it more a fat?

so you pour water, egg whites and oatmeal into a bowl, mix and heat? no egg chunks?

FF ricotta is a great source of protein.

I love it mixed with berries and Splenda - tastes like berries and cream, yum&#33; :drool:

[rachel.]

:D Great&#33;

I&#39;m thinking of getting some black beans, ricotta cheese...?

I have chicken, cottage cheese, hard cheese, eggs, eggbeaters, egg whites...


Anything else I&#39;m missing? Any ideas? :)

[accismus]

I practically live off of ground turkey breast.

Also, lean cuts of beef every once in awhile, lean pork (tenderloin) are also acceptable protein sources.

As for FF ricotta - mix 1/4 c ricotta with 1 T almond butter, a little splenda, a few drops of almond and vanilla extract = almond pudding. :) I just ate some five minutes ago&#33;
