Kiwis, any advice?

[Letty 0]

Hello everyone

I was just wondering, has any body had a bad experience with kiwis? my Dr, said pineapple and, oranges and limes were not recommended but did not mention anything about kiwis.

At 3 1/2 weeks post- op, I had some two days ago, (they were kind of sour) and I have this feeling in my chest of swollen, like irritation. I was able to eat all this time, but only things that are cold, milk feels really good or very cold Water, well I'm afraid to eat something else, even though I hade some chicken (cold) and fresh mozzarella for lunch, but it is dinner time, and only want milk.

Is there any thing you can do to get rid of this?

Thanks

Everything that was safe to eat before is still safe. pineapple, oranges and limes are fibrous and acidic. Either one of these qualities may take some getting used to until you either learn...or give them up for good. Kiwi isn't exactly fibrous if you skip the skin and should be fine, especially if you blend it in a smoothie or something, Yum.

Are solids OK at this point? Maybe you are irritated from forcing yourself during healing?

Just a thought. If you are having troubles, call the doc.

Thank you Morsa, I though it was the kiwis because, did not feel right after I ate them, but it could had been anything. I also went to a patty on Tuesday night, and there was nothing for me to eat, so that was like 6 hours, after I got home I had some grill vegetables and that was it, then the pain came along.

Since I'm new to this, everything scares me, but I feel better this morning, I went to get some Maalox, perhaps that will help with the gas too. I email my Dr, and he said it could been some Vitamins, pills can cause irritation and even ulcers in your stoma sometimes, so I also get some chewable ones.

Blessings

I have no problem with kiwis. I can che wpineapple but I have to spit it out once it's juiced because there's no way I can chew through all the Fiber. So far the only fruits I've had any problems with are bananas & applesauce, of all things. They stick like the dickens.

Thanks Wheet!

I forgot to mention, that I was doing that cabbage Soup diet for a week. It was my second day this Tuesday (I was on vegetables and Soup only. I don't know if that had any thing to do with it? Obviously I quit! I had to have milk yesterday and I was not suppose too. I rather feel good then loosing some extra pounds.
