army_wife13 6 Posted April 21, 2015 the candy cane roux limb more or less a longer limb other people which allowed me to eat a normal amount of food. The food then would stay in the roux limb and cause the upper abdominal pain and sometimes vomiting. He removed 4 inches of my limb trying to fix my vomiting and nausea.
