licking stuff..

I am almost 2 weeks post op. i was trying to be nice and make my hubby dinner since he has been so supportive and knew a home cooked meal would be nice. I made turkey spagetti. I stuck my finder in the sauce to check the tempature and licked it off. about 10 minutes later I had horrible diarreha. I am on a liquid diet and I didnt eat anything just tasted the liquid. first stomach ache never want that to happen again! has anyone else experienced this? 

Boy you have a sensitive stomach.  But when I was early out I was very strict with myself and didn't eat anything that wasn't on the list.  I think you will have to be careful.

I think it is highly unlikely that the sauce had anything to do with it in 10 minutes. Probably just coincidence.

 maybe your right...but the only thing I ate at that point was my protein shake and water. very strange. but I am totally scared now to start puree foods next.

 I'm not entirely sure it could be chalked up to the sauce.... like a PP said, probably just coincidence. I know that while on liquids I had the runs all the time and they didn't stop until I started to progress to purees & soft solids. Ya know, liquids in - liquids out!

 Was it a tomato sauce? I remember being in my first 2 weeks out, having 2 small bites of tomato soup and dumping! When I asked my NUT about it she said some people are extremely sensitive to tomatoes early out and to avoid tomato soup for a good 6 weeks. I don't know if a lick would be enough to set that off, but less then a teaspoon had me going. 

 Every one is different and every diet is different.  When i went to my 2 week post op, I was allowed to eat minited soft solids (including spaghetti sauce).  Turkey Spaghetti was the first thing I made... just had about 3 table spoons of sauce and threw up all night.  Later, talking to someone on here, I was reminded that tomato sauce is really high in acid and that can cause stomach aches ... its a possibility that your stomach is still so fragile, just the taste effected you!  Be careful!!!

Even though turkey has less fat than beef it still produces some grease. When I drink broth I go to the bathroom for hours off the grease. You may be sensitive to that or the tomatoes. Our pouches are different creatures altogether than the full stomachs.

 I would think it's possible it could have been your protein shake.  Out of every 5 protein shakes I drink, one will upset my stomach.  I can't figure out if it's a sensitivity to the whey protein or what.

you guys are probably right the acid might have done it. thanks for the help! never again ! :)
