Split pea soup? Gas?

[John Does 1]

Wondering if anyone has tried it and if it made the gas any worse?

I am currently making a pot of it with the hope it will satisfy me due to it's high Protein and high Fiber content. I am concerned that it will make the gas worse, although I don't know how it can get much worse!

The upper GI gas is the major problem for me-when it gets lower I can move it out but the upper distress is killing me.

I can't tell if I am gassing up due to lack of food/hunger or because of it!

I am only 'eating' Jello, egg drop Soup and tea/juice etc...

I just tried some of a yogurt drink and it seems to calm me down for a bit...ugh!

Not sure if it will make your gas worse but know that pea Soup isn't all that great. Why don't you make some chicken tortilla soup. It got me through my soup stage post op!

chicken Tortilla Soup:

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can of cheddar soup

1 can of enchilada sauce (red)

1 cup of skim milk (add more later if you like!)

Heat on stove. Do not add salt or pepper - no need to. Stir until ingredients combine. And enjoy!
