I dont know... Your stomach may be collicy... Those carbonated drinks are not good for you this early out and will irritate and stretch your stoma. The stoma is still very sensitive and still trying to heal and Dr. Carsons said it will make it collicy and wont be able to heal properly. It could just be really irritated and raw. Be careful. Try to eat very bland foods for a few days and see if that helps. Warm liquids but no solids. Try it and see if it helps. I dont know what else it could be. My stomach cramps really bad if I have had too much sugar--sometimes just enough to make me cramp but not enough to make me dump. How many grams of sugar was in the Power Crunch bar??

There is only 4 grams in a whole power crunch bar an i didnt even eat 1/4 of it. I think i been showin my tail too much and just eattin what i want more or less and thinkin that nothin is gonna hurt me cause I'm tough! I"m goin on liquids until it feels better and then take it slow like i should have donein the 1 st place!!! DAWN

I dont think I had a protein bar until I was several months out. Be gentle right now. Remember where you started and where you want to be. Its not easy but we are gonna do this!!

It is so strange how different all the dr.s are and what they will allow. At your time out, I was on full liquids and stayed there for 8 weeks. That could be what's wrong with it though. I wouldn't think your pouch has healed yet and that the pecans in the candy would make it hurt badly. Even now at over a year out nuts kill me!! Hope it starts to feel better! Kitsy

Dawn I went to the info meeting tonight at keesler and the surgeon not Dr LO he was there but another doc spoke to us he said no stage 4 foods until your pouch has healed at least 4 weeks post op. Maybe the broccoli? No carbonated drinks either. EVER!!!!!! Diet Coke gone for ever!!!!
