general query on diet etc..

Mary TaraMember

hey everyone,

its been a long 3 years now after my reversal surgery, but till today i get symptoms of spasms and bloating which can be really uncomfortable (and painful!) at times, do you guys have any recommendations on the possible therapeutic/herbal or medicinal treatment for this problem?

im also thinking of introducing more foods to my diet, as i sometimes feel my body is starving for sugar. which kind of chocolate is best to eat? also, is it safe to eat walnuts, olives and different fruit?

thanks a lot! i hope your all coping wonderfully
best wishes
Mary

I eat everything; nuts, seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables, popcorn, etc. I haven't found a food that I cannot eat. It's probably a good idea when introducing new foods, to eat a small amount and gauge how you do.

We are all prone to the risk of occasional partial obstructions, caused by adhesions, and that is what it sounds like you are describing. When you have those symptoms, just ease up on solid foods and focus on liquids, until the symptoms subside.

Otherwise, 3 years of restrictive diet!?! I can't imagine it! I don't think I waited 3 weeks! So experiment, but slowly, like Sue said.

I never restricted my diet.. But for some reason chocolate occasionally causes irritation during BMs.. Not enough to cause a CHOCOLATE restriction.

Take it slow and reintroduce things that you like to eat..

Be careful about sugar,,, it could cause you pouchitis. Try honey instead....
