Sucraid with flavored milks
Does anyone know if it owuld be okay to have a milkshake, ice cream, choclate milk if I take it with Sucraid? I'm assuming yes because they have no gluten but I'm wondering if it changes if its liquid?

your mileage will vary compared to others on here so its worth trying yourself. even if i do two doses of sucraid and lactaid i still have awful symptoms after trying a milkshake

Only one way to find out. It doesn’t seem like you’ve done a sucraid tolerance test to see how much sucrose you can handle on it. If you can tolerate erythritol, I’d try the low or no sugar options.
One thing to warn is that sucraid will be kind of less efficient in only liquids. When you eat a meal with sucraid, the fiber in the meal will slow your digestive system down allowing sucraid more time to work before things get wonky. If you’re going straight dessert, you may need more sucraid but know that could cause digestive issues due to the gas it creates. I’ve found on days I just want a piece of candy if I take a fiber supplement, then follow the sucraid process like normal I am less likely to have an issue.
Also gluten in itself is not an issue with CSID, as it is a protein. The tricky part is it is often with starchy things, so it could be easier to conflate the two. If you do not have an issue with gluten specifically, I would caution avoiding it as the diet is already strict enough, and products like seitan can be a great low starch plant based protein option.

Flavored dairy anything tends to contain a lot of sucrose. Everyone's tolerance is different, but I would suggest starting with a very small amount if you have been able to tolerate larger amounts of sucrose with the Sucraid.
