what is the process of milk digestion

[Guest guest]

we have a question regarding milk digestion after RNY surgery. our

bariatric coordinator tells our patients that they are allowed one

serving of milk per day due to the amount of sugar that milk contains.

we are wondering if this is practiced in other facilities and if so

please explain why?

we know that some patients become lactose intolerant after the surgery

but where in the small intestines are the simple sugars that milk is

comprised of absorbed?

any info is appreciated.
