Was playing softball yesterday and had to leave and go home to use the bathroom!! I definitely have different cravings now than pre-op. The sweet tooth thing that I have never had is very strange. I thought the wheat bread would give me more gas? Should I try rice to bind me up? I saw bananas too. My pharmacy doesn't carry DEVROM. Is it a script? _______________________________________________ Melodie, Devrom is ordered over the internet. No script. Some people have better results than others. he Ezekiel bread is full of fiber, that does the trick...I think it does increase gas in me, but my stools are firmer when I eat it. It is definately and aquired taste, you either like it or not...My kids hate it....LOL. More for me! Rice causes diarrhea and major gas for me. Most starches do. Have you tried Benefiber or another fiber supplement to help bulk up stools and absorb oil? It might be a big help. Some of it is trial and error. What works for some doesn't or others. I have few symptoms from krispy Kremes, but others swear they break plateaus...LOL. My taboo foods are cheddar and sour cream chips, actually most chips...LOL. Chili is a food I ONLY eat when I'm going to be alone and at home for 3 days minimum....LOL. Weird how my food tastes have changed. A big portion of my food is Taco salads, cheese burgers, eggs and cheese....I love crab(Hated it pre op...LOL) and it's weird how i get on kicks where I only want one food, and nothing else....The family gets tired of cheeseburgers every day...LOL. in Bama VBG 1982 (lost from 433lbs to 270's) VBG -RNY1996 revision(Lost from 343 to 299) RNY-DS revision Dec 2002 -down 135 lbs (377.7 to 242.2 and still going) Homepage address- http://hometown.aol.com/mdl1031/myhomepage/profile.html Many thanks to Dr. K willing to take on a 3rd timer....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 > Please advise on what to eat. Thanks. > Melodie in Colusa Well, when I don't eat correctly, I get pasty stools, very annoying! and I am actually incontinent of bowels, TMI! I eat sprouted grain bread daily. It binds the loose stools together and soaks up the grease. No gas from it, either, if I resist the raisin bread. I eat the complete protein version. Other than that, I stay with proteins, and for carbs I eat candy. No white flour. Sounds like some flora replacement might help you, too. See Mel's note to Elle.

Is it a script? I know I am late answering this, Melodie, but, if you haven't gotten the info yet: Devrom is available online. Did your yogurt cause you diarrhea or did you stop eating it before your loose stools? I have been having a lot of trouble with gas lately, and I have gotten a little better about watching what I eat. Milk (which I was FINALLY able to drink and enjoy) now causes horrendous gas and bloating. Boo. I have to stay away from sourdough bread, but I can eat corn tortillas with no trouble (love my tacos)! I think you may have to eliminate one category at a time until you find what bothers YOU most. Another thing you could try is the sprouted grain bread to add fiber, or maybe some Metamucil? I hope this isn't all just repeated stuff and that you can glean something helpful here! Hugs and blessings, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
