I'm not on this stage yet, but can we have things like rice noodles or gluten free Pasta to replace regular noodles? And what about rice and gluten free crackers?

Thanks!

I think it depends on your tummy tolerance. I've noticed many people avoid the carbs because it takes up too much room in the new tummy. I've also seen people eating burgers and sandwiches and, yes, pasta. Of course, the servings are teeny

When you eat carbs. Try very hard to have a complex carb. Then it becomes a complete Protein which will help you feed your body!

Also remember that gluten free has nothing to do with low carb, or no carb.

My doc told me to have a protein and a bit of veggies, and that's pretty much it. Very little pasta, bread, etc.

Anything from rice can swell in your stomach which is not good.

And have you ever read the ingredients on gluten free stuff? It is usually full of sugar and other things that aren't necessarily good for you

Are you gluten intolerant? Like Arielle said, gluten has nothing to do with carbs.

Yes, you can have anything you like as long as you eat your protein first, then veggies, and then carbs.

Just wanted to know if gluten free or rice made any difference. Thanks for the replies!
