Strange question

Natisha1971Natisha1971Member
Hello,
I have not posted in a long time but I have been wondering about something. My daughter is in her early 20's and she has had two jpouch's done. Anyway, recently she was eating some very tiny mints and she said they caused her to feel very strange like a whole warming sensation throughout her entire body? It scared her. Everyone else that ate the mints were fine? I'm wondering if she has a sensitivity to things such as artificial sweeteners? She's also noticed she can't tolerate wheat products. Is this common with people who've had colon surgeries?

Thanks!

I think it is just an individual sensitivity. However, sometimes the trauma of intestinal surgery triggers the sensitivity/intolerance. The immune system responds to a great many things. If she thinks the mint reaction might be due to the artificial sweetener, she can try something else with the same sweetener and see if she has the same reaction. Otherwise, it could be the specific combination in the mint or another ingredient.
