I am currently bulking up , due to the lack of calories AND calcium in my diet, I decided to reintroduce whole milk. It's freakin delicious btw , but the problem is that the bad gas I used to have prior to becoming Paleo is BACK. I am also having loose stools. I am 17 year old and I don't know whether I should be sweating the small stuff.

Sounds like you have a dairy intolerance. Have you had the same reaction with kefir? Some people who don't do well with milk are okay with fermented dairy. That way, you'll get to have something you think is "delicious" and get the benefits of a probiotic food. |

Like Sunny Beaches said it sounds like dairy intolerance. Those are classic symptoms. Have you reintroduced anything else into your diet? You should look at other options for bulking like carb loading (sweet potatos and the like), eggs, meat, etc... I'm not an expert though so can't really say much more on that.

I'd suggest you try goat milk/cheese/yogurt instead of cow, since the goat/sheep casein is much more tolerable than that of cows (use only cream/butter from cows). If problems persist, then try home-made goat kefir (36 hours fermentation) or probiotic yogurt (24 hours fermentation), and hard goat/sheep cheeses. Most of lactose will be gone this way. If that doesn't work either, try calcium-fortified almond/coconut milk and get calcium vitamins. |

Dairy should be introduced slowly and gradually to avoid issues, if you aren't use to it and especially if you are intolerant. Coconut milk (in moderation) will be a great solution as well as the other carbs that people are suggesting, meat, eggs, avocado, sweet potatoes, coconut oil. Why suffer? Have you tried full fat cream (to test), just curious if there are some dairy products that bother you more/less than others. |
