At 3 months out, I've been pleased and thankful that I haven't had any food intolerances, I can eat anything I want, and my tastebuds didn't change. Of course some things "feel" better than others, like protein and veggies obviously go down easier than bread or potatoes. And nothing has ever gotten stuck or made me throw up. However, I've always wondered why I get this weird feeling in my stomach if I eat anything sweet, even fruit. I wouldn't call it a spasm, but more of a churning or a jumping, and then it feels sort of airy and sometimes I'll get that gurgly burp. I know I shouldn't be eating anything sweet anyway, but I've been so curious about why it causes such a reaction. Anyone else get this or know what it means?

Wow I had no clue about alcohol. My doctor didn't mention alcohol at all. Are we supposed to avoid it?

I am not a regular drinking and only drink a few times a year but when I drink, lol, well, I DRINK! :tongue_smilie:

I assume that is not something I can do anymore?

What about 1 mixed drink. Would that be OK? I only do mixed drinks.

You can have mixed drinks when you are healed. Just expect to feel it a lot quicker.

Texas T,

I've had the same thing occasionally, but not every time...sometimes I can eat a little something sweet and it does not bother me. Other times I feel "bad" afterwards...hard to describe, I think it's the sugar "high" then the "low". A couple of times it was "dumping" but that was very rare.

Anyway, since I'm not eating sweets very often, it is a rare event and does not worry me.

I do have a lot of gurgling though, no matter what I eat.

I'm in the boat with Oregandaisy...milk products give me the most bathroom issues (1/3 of a small blizzard and I'm in trouble). I have a banana every morning for Breakfast and try to down some diced peaches or applesauce at a snack time to keep me regular...so those sweet items have been okay...

The highest sugar I've tried was the top portion of a homemade cupcake with a thick layer of buttercream frosting and I ate if FAST while cleaning up a 50th birthday party...it was amazingly good but I do not recall any side effects...

Maybe there's some lactose intolerance mixed in there too?
