Small pouch day vs. Intolerance
I'm 11 months out and having same issues, not knowing intolerance vs small pouch too much food. I had sugarfree whip cream in my coffee along with sugar free hazelnut liquid creamer two days ago, I did fine. Last night about an hour after dinner I did have the coffee again I felt like uuugghhh for several hours. I completely understand. I feel that it's intolerance to certain chemicals and foods. Our bodies have completely changed we are like newborns learning to eat again, one food at a time.
I'm only 4 months out but I'm unable to eat any kind of meat, no matter what. My surgeon said that I should keep trying, every once in a while, but that sometimes people have things they can't eat any longer. For what reason, he doesn't know. I may have to resign myself to the fact that I will no longer be able to eat meat, which doesn't make me happy because I love me some red steak! Chicken seems to hit me the hardest ... the first small bit and I feel like I've swallowed a rock. If I stop there, I usually don't hurl, but anything more than that, it's "good-bye chicken!" Yuk.
Good luck with your quest to eat chicken again. Sounded like a yummy dinner!
