Nutrigirl-
Q: Hope you are doing well. Quick question: I have been drinking one glass of chocolate milk per day since we met in the fall. I love the taste of it and don't want to give it up. But, quite frankly, it give me a lot of gas. I'm already having 2 yogurts/day, taking calcium pills, and having a cheese stick. Is there something else I can do to make up for the calcium loss if I stop drinking chocolate milk? Or, is there a way to keep drinking it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much
A: Thanks for your question. You can probably cancel the calcium pills if you are having 3 dairy servings/day.
The gassiness you are experiencing may be from yogurt due to the bacteria. Try cutting down to 1/day to see if that helps.
Keep the chocolate milk- it is a great way to "replenish" glycogen stores after workouts.
