[azrrel herrejon 10]

[delta_girl 931]

Carbs?

Never heard that??

Anything red can cause them to think it is blood in your digestive track before surgery, now after you should be able to have it. Did they say before or after?

After Hun that's what the diet paper says ? I dnt think it's cause carbs because it says any other gatorades

Could be red dye or red gatorade has some specific allergens associated with it? Pretty unusual, but you never know.

I think they prob mean right after surgery... we have ppl avoid anything red... gatorade, Jello, popsickles, etc... bacause if u vomit or have diarrhea n see red u may freak out ir it may mask a true bleed (thinking its just ur gatorade)... i think after a week or so u should b fine but i would double check with ur dr or NUT

So that they can make sure you aren't getting blood in your urine or fecies. Also no beets or red dyed foods for the first few weeks! That way you know I'd you are having an internal problem.

And it would somehow be ok to see Blue LOL

Neither of my docs gave me a "no red" rule. I think it would be fine.

Well, unless you are a smurf and bleed blue, yes it does make a difference! Lol. If you have not eaten anything red and you find red coming out of your body (especially after having surgery) you can be pretty sure it could be blood and know its an emergency or something that needs to be checked. It's not a huge deal but it saves your medical professionals and yourself time and energy in case of an emergency. The first question asked by a doctor if you tell them you have blood in your stool or urine should be 'have you eaten anything red?'

Blood in stool, unless it's fresh and running is actually black, not red. And I was joking for gads sake...people LOL means Laugh out loud. There is blue gatorade and red gatorade, hence the association.
