Afraid Wendy's chili doesn't agree with my pouch

So, I have been excited to try Wendy's chili, but I have a feeling it doesn't agree with me.

Whenever I eat it, I take really small spoonfuls and chew really well so that it's puréed. After a couple bites, I get a discomfort in my pouch, and I feel like it's gas because I have a lot of rumbling. It just feels painful.

Damn, and it tastes so good.

Two things could be at war with you here.  The first would be onions.  It took me years of suffering before I put my finger on that one.  They cause rumbling, horrible gas and diarrhea for me, where they were once a staple in my life.  Another could be the ground beef.  I know that since it's ground, it should be easy to eat.  On the contrary, it was one of the last meats that I could eat comfortably.  It always filled me up incredibly fast.

So sorry to hear.  I had it for the first time about a week ago with no issues.  It sure does taste good.  And a small made 3 meals for me.  I sure eat a lot cheaper these days!

It can be a recipe for upset pouch and I still cannot tolerate it.  Acids. chili powder, spices, onions, beans and ground beef all can contribute to gas and nausea for me.  Many people tolerate it very well, I would be sick and gassy for hours.

set that aside and try again in another month or two.  You're still early out and may be able to tolerate it when you've healed up more.

I was told by my bariatric nurse at 3 weeks out that to try Wendy's chili ! That's the dumbest advice I've ever followed. I got so sick , I've never been sick since and I'm 3 months out. I really should have known better that soon out and I'm not sure I can handle it now or not because I can't even think about it.
