Skins Question
I love grapes... I don't want to peel them. What is the story on skins? I don't have an appointment with my Nut until November 6th. The only thing I've read is that skins are hard to digest. So how does that affect me? I always thought skins were hard to digest anyway. I'm not trying to find a away around the not eating skins... I'll happily peel but I've already had grapes a number of times with no ill effects.
I have never had ANY issues with skins. HOWEVER, I actually follow the directions of my surgeon's program and chew EVERYTHING about 30 times before swallowing it. So the skins are broken up by my teeth in chewing, I'm sure.
I was told no skins/seeds/citrus until 4 months out or so - however I ate all the above with no problem... each surgeon has different guidelines thou. The reason my surgeon gave was they can get stuck along with way in the new plumbing (scared me with a story of going in to get a piece of stuck pineapple - yucko! I did stay away from citrus but ate skins/nuts early).
