Lactaid now makes ice cream that is pretty good! I have also found Lactaid cottage cheese that is good also. If I am having regular ice cream, I just swallow the lactaid pill with the first bite and it seems to help. Other than the SBO that I came home from the hospital with, my issues seem to be the diverticulitis inflammation swelling up and blocking and making it hard for anything to get thru, but it always seems to be in that lower sigmoid area where they ended up cutting a large section out, but apparently they still found diverticulosis in the part they reattached🙁Which is what I am dealing with now, so at least there is no nausea or vomiting, just intense lower abdominal pain and no appetite, which does not help with my weight
