Ok, I am lucky I haven't had any bad side effects from food..until lunch today that is lol made a small salad with some canned chicken breast and thought hmmmm I will throw some cukes on it. MISTAKE! OMG I feel like I am about to pop! Ughhhh the gas! And my gas-x is at home. Thanks to pethairmagnet's suggestion (thanks BTW) having a cup of warm tazo passion tea. Please Lord let this help!!

Isn't it amazing that we can have the same surgery and have such different results---cucumbers are one of the VERY few things I can eat with no problems !!! Chicken, lettuce and most other vegetables and meats put me in the fetal position. You can envy me the cucumbers and I'll envy you your salad-lol. Seriously, I am sorry you had such a bad reaction. Hope you feel better.

Many people that have trouble with cucumbers have NO trouble if they peel them, so you might y a small amount of peeled cucumber next time.

You can get rid of gas by just bending with your head lower than your knees for a few seconds, like tying your shoe.

The hot tea helped sort things out some. I feel alot better now thank goodness! I do peel them but someone at work told me to cut the seeds out? Thats what causes the gas? Anyone else hear of this?

I cut the cucumber in half and take a spoon and scrape out the seeds. Otherwise I want to die....

Hope the tea helped! Did you de-seed the cucumbers? One seed will tear me up...and that was pre surgery.

I have the same problem with baby carrots, gas pain so bad that I have to take a narcotic pain killer. Seriously, I love them, but they do not love me back!
