i know that in general olestra can give you diarhea i can only imagine that in a system that is more sensitive after surgery that it could cause issues with some people but that is my own speculation

Rosemary, I know pre-op if I overdid it on those chips I'd be dead which is precisely why I haven't ventured down that road post-op!!! UGH - the thought of it!! Cece
