Are we allowed to have pasta

It would depend on your stage and your clinic. If you are on regular food it is not the best choice but my team does not have any food that is forbidden so yes I have had pasta. There is basically no nutrition in it though and it’s higher calories so it should not be a routine thing. Also, some people do not tolerate it well. It expands and sits heavy so make sure you try very small amounts at first and wait to see how your body reacts to it. For pasta cravings, I found a cauliflower pasta at Walmart in the frozen section that tastes almost like the real thing. Consider trying that instead.

as I recall, Lisa, you are several years out. So there shouldn't be any restrictions at this point - just whatever you yourself are able to tolerate. Some people, even years out, can't tolerate certain foods. I can't eat much pasta - it sits like a brick in my stomach. But I can handle a half cup or so. I don't eat it very often, though, as it doesn't have much nutritional value.
