English muffin. Not what I expected.

[bufbills 314]

So, 9 months out and in maintenance. I thought I would have ham and eggs this morning on an English muffin. Looked great. First one in since before surgery. I love them. My new stomach does not. Two bites and I was immediately nauseous. Weird. Ate the ham and eggs and was good. Not ready for carbs I guess? I eat very few, and never bread, Pasta or other bad ones. Thoughts?

Maybe you have developed an allergy? I don’t know much about this but have seen people on here who have developed allergies post surgery.

Maybe. My brother has celiac pretty bad. I'm starting to think gluten is poison.

I eat English muffins occasionally - but not sure if I could have the first year or so. Even now I still occasionally have issues with some bread products. Some sit in my stomach like a brick. You could always try again another time.

Yep. And I will. I've been fortunate and have not had trouble with much at all. Kind of why I was surprised at how it went this morning. That said, I'm very strict about what I eat, avoiding all the stuff that got me where I was prior to surgery. I'm more than happy not to eat those things anyway.

I avoid breads & other carb rich products too. Like you @bufbills, I think they’re danger foods for me & I’m pretty glad my tummy doesn’t like them. I have tried a bite here & there but my restriction kicks in or they sit heavily in my tummy. Last time was a bite of naan bread last month as a test. Was yummy but groan. Not for me.

Maybe give it another try in a couple of months & see if you can tolerate it then. May not be a gluten allergy or sensitivity as they tend to cause bloating, pain, diarrhoea, etc. more than nausea (though they can) as you’d likely know from your brother. But you could always have a test done to be sure.

I developed a wheat allergy after my surgery. I was told it's only something like a 3% chance of that even happening (my luck is terrible like that). You could always get tested just to be sure, but it may just be that your stomach may not be able to handle bread for a few more months.
