worm2872 635 Posted December 28, 2012 I'm five weeks out now and about two weeks ago i started using very little franks red hot on some chicken. Took it slow and I seemed to be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mom2lucky (suznc) 81 Posted December 28, 2012 At my dr visit last week I specifically asked about spicy. He said go for it but eat 1st bite and wait a few minutes just to be sure pouch is ok with it. i went straight to taco bell & ate a couple of bites of the meat and cheese from a soft taco. i used the hot sauce & no probs. i remember when i could eat 3 of those + the big full strength Pepsi. I couldn't even eat 1/3 of the meat & cheese only. felt weird but good to throw away the rest. I am 1 month out today. 1 jaymi2521 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLCoggin 1,788 Posted December 29, 2012 I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...I love spicy food too but it can be an irritant. Having just been diagnosed last week with an ulcer at the anastomosis, I would urge caution with alcohol, chocolate, and spicy food. All taboo as of last week until I get this thing healed up. No pain, no symptoms, I feel great - but it's there all the same and I didn't have a drop of alcohol, a bite of chocolate or anything even remotely spicy until I was six months out. My experience does not in any way mean yours will be the same. But it's always good to be informed. You're gonna love the new you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
