I was told I’m not allowed to have fresh salsa. I was told I can only have salsa from a bottle?! Has anyone else been told this? If so do you know why? I keep forgetting to ask the nutritionist.

thanks

I've never heard of this. Do us all a favor: Ask your nutritionist & report the reason back here for all of us to learn from. Thanks.

Sounds like utter horseshit to me. I only eat fresh salsa, the canned/jarred crap is nasty.

If your nutritionist says one word about the acidity of fresh salsa, dump them because they are an idiot. Stomach acid has a ph level of about 1.5-3.5. A habenero has a ph level of 5.8. (1 being most acidic and 14 being most basic)

The OP is a little over two weeks out from surgery. I'm guessing it's because jarred is cooked and has less of a chance of getting stuck. I'm further guessing that fresh will be approved at around 6 weeks post op.

I completely agree - I'm guessing it's just because you are so early on. I wasn't allowed fresh tomatoes until like 8 weeks post op. But do report back, I'm interested to know the real answer!

Like the others have said I'm guessing it's because of how freshly post op you are. I was not allowed to have raw vegetables in any form until 12 weeks post op.
