remind me again

....as to why we are not to drink 30 min. before meals?  Is it just because it fills up our pouch where we don't want to eat as much or is there more to it then that?

We're not to drinkk 30 min before and 30 min after we eat.  Thats because when we drink just before we eat our pouch is full of liquid and our food will thin out and flush right outta the pouch with the liquid leaving us hungry sooner, same thing if we drink while we eat and right after, the liquid will flush out the food and we'll be hungry.

Hope that helps.

 drinking to soon after eating can cause the stoma to stretch also
