I always thought the word, dairy, milichik ended with a gimmel. I noticed some posters writing it with a k, instead of a g, so I checked it out and it's with a kuf. I tried fleishig, but all I came up with was, fleish. Is there a word fleishik or is it just fleish for meat products?

Some yiddish speakers say "Milchig" and "Fleischig" and others say it with the kuf pronunciation. It depends on which dialect the person speaks. Fleischig or fleishik or however your dialect says it is an adjective for a meat product. Fleisch is the noun for a meat product.
