Are mushrooms ok?

Wondering if cooked mushrooms would be ok? I am a little more than a month out and love mushrooms. Would like to cook some in a little pesto but unsure if this would go down ok? My mom says mushrooms don't digest well? Anyone have some first hand experience to share?

I don't have personal experience, but I can give you the technical view Mushrooms cooked well and chewed well are relatively easy to digest and are not very fibrous.  Eat your protein first - and if you have room (and your doc has given you the ok for solid foods) give a few a try.  Tolerances vary from person to person, so you may have no problem at all. Your mother is right when it comes to raw mushrooms, but cooked are much easier to digest. Danielle Halewijn RD eNutritioncare.com
