Topic: RE: Stomach Virus
Due to deficiencies I got a nutrition book THE FOOD DOCTOR BY IAN MARGER AND VICKI EDGSON ISBN 1-84340-387-8
It says dates are good for diahrrhea and dysentery, papaya has potassium ,aids digestion & is an anti-parasitic and soothes intestinal inflammation ang gas. Sweet potatoes have potassium are easy to digest, and are excellent for digestion and inflammation of digestive tract. I hope this helps.

Sorry you have been sick. I have some vitmin dieficiencies so bought a nutrition book. It says dates are good for diahrrhea and dysentery. And papayas have potassium & are anti-parasitic and soothe intestinal inflammation and gas. Kiwi is an excellent source of digestive enzyme. SWEET POTATOES are easily digestible help digestive trct inflammation and have potassium. These are direct quotes from THE FOOD DOCTOR. Maybe this will help.

My Nut and surgeon both have said the stretching of the pouch is a myth. But it can cause serious discomfort and interfere with healing in the first 6 mo so we were not allowed any for that time. After 6 mo, we can have diet soda only and go very slow with small sips. I had my first diet AW cream soda, and it was nice to be able to have something else to drink. I sipped slowly(did not even finish the drink) and had no problems.

I hope that answers your question. I saw two nut's before surgery. SODA IS FORBIDDEN FOR GB PATIENTS. It does stretch the pouch and can cause SERIOUS problems.
Topic: RE: do you drink soda?
I drink REAL coke on occassion an occassion being, (if it is in my sight!) I try not to keep it in the house. There was just a sale on Pepsi products...I am NOT a Pepsi girl, I am a Coke girl but, since it iis in the house I have been drinking it. I am of course not losing weight and I refuse to diet once again. So, my advise is whether it stretches the stomach or not DO NOT drink it....it leads to our OLD HABITS all too soon...which is where I am right now. SAVE YOURSELF!!!

I don't know. I have had small sips of soda, but it just doesn't agree with my tummy. I have no idea if it's a myth or not, but I didn't want you to stand alone
