HELP PLZ.........RICE

Good Sunday Morn'n to the greatest Cali Crew,

Well I need some seriouse advice from the post-ops. Last night my hubby and I went to visit my best friend and we went to dinner. She wanted to go to this teppan place so we went. We ordered scallops and steak, well the cheif gave us some fried rice. Now know I have eaten rice before (small bits here and there) and havn't had a problem, well  I had a huge problem. ( I beleive it was from the rice, but not sure) When we left I all of a sudden got the most horrible pains in my stomach area. It felt like I had so much gas built up and I couldn't get it out. Like someone need to get  a needle and pop me. I tried to go to the restroom, I tried to get it up, I took some gas x, I drank water(about an hour later), I drank warm water with meat tenderizer, nothing worked. It was so painful I was tempted to go the ER. I laid down in bed and laid on my arm on my tummy and it seemed to help a very little, but I fell alseep and I just got up and my tummy muscles are so sore. So with all this said, What do you guys think it was?  Please share your thought with me on this. I will tell you I will NEVER touch rice again.

Hey girlfriend - sorry aobut all your pain last night....although I can offer no advice - I have not had any rice but I guarantee I won't now......yuck that must have been awful.

Hey we missed you at the last coffee.  Ar eyou guys going to be able to come on the 30th?  Hope so, I miss ya lady.

Take care and hopeyou are feeling alot better today....

Hey girly,
Thanks for the kind words, ya stay clear of rice. It's bad!! 

We will not be at the next coffee we are going up to see james parents for the weekend so we will be at the next one.

We should do lunch soon.

I can't eat  a lot of rice either. I made the mistake of having 3 pieces of Sushi and did the cardinal sin of WLS and had a few sips of water during the meal, well, RICE swells so that was my problem and may have been  yours; if you had a beverage during the meal. It's nasty for sure.

Awww poor thing. I have hard rice, pasta and bread is bad for our little pouches. I hope u start to feel better

Fried rice even at almost five years tries to kill me. I think the technique used at teppan restaurants add to the problem. I kow I normally don't make it from the restaurant without . My husband now begins to warn me even before we are seated about the rice!!!

Hijack to Willa post. Glad to see you. We were not able to get together before school let out but now that it is back in session we will have to do so if possible.

Rice swells once it hits the stomach juices and can cause alot of pain.  I took 2 bites of rice about 3 months after surgery, did not chew them very well and ate them too close together and thought I was having a heart attack the pain was so bad.  Luckily I was at home, made myself throw up and laid down for a while then felt better.  It was almost 2 years after that before I ate any rice again.  Remember to take very small bites, chew it up very well and wait for several mins. between bites to give it time to pass through your pouch area.

Sorry about your unfortunate rice incident...but lets move on to something that will make u feel better!



GO ANGELS!
