Bread/Crackers

When did your Dr say you could have any sort of bread, crackers, rice, Pasta again, if ever?

I'm curious because mine is very limited on a forever basis but I've seen others having crackers at 3-4 weeks out.

It depends. They are easy to load up, taste good, and go down easy, so they are inherently dangerous and there is no good reason to have them unless your doc recommends it.

I had severe GI issues about two months out and lost the ability to tolerate almost any foods, so I lived on PB crackers per doctor's orders (they didn't care what I ate, so long as I ate something. It was the only solid food I could tolerate for a while). Now, 2-3x per week I have a pack of Peanut Butter honey crackers, and those get to be my carbs for the day (24g carbs but 7g protein). It's too easy to slide into bad habits with them, so why bother for your first few months?

You've worked hard to get this far. Screw crackers, you don't need them.
