Hi, I'm 40 months post-op and it seems that everything I eat with tomatoes hurt my stomach. Does anyone else share my problem? I love fresh tomatoes and other veggies but tomatoes are the only culprits. Any advice? I'm still losing and seem to have no other problems. I've lost over 250 lbs and my BMI is the lowest that I can remember. Take care. Susy

Could you have an ulcer? Maybe get this checked out. Tomatoes have acid and that could be the culprit.

Thanks, I see my doc this week and I'll have it checked out. I know the acid is sometimes so bad in my stomach that I take Nexium. God Bless, Susy

I'm 15 months out and I can not eat fresh or canned tomatoes, but I can eat tomato sauce. I just attribute it to the acid. I do know that I do not have an ulcer because my pouch was scoped when I was 12 months out. As much as I hate it, I just avoid them as much as possible. I just try them every few months or so...hoping i'll be able to eat them. No such luck, yet. Gisela

I had 3 scopes since surgery and all was okay. They stretched my stoma and all has been okay until this episode with the tomatoes. Thanks for your help. Susy

Do you peel the fresh tomatoes? I can eat them just fine, but it hurts my tummy when I leave the peelings on them, so I make sure I peel them first. (I also peel apples for the same reason.) I also watch the sugar content in canned tomatoes or soup. I do just fine with Campbells "classic" Tomato soup, but I cannot eat their other tomato soups. These pouches are funny critters! -141 almost 14 months out.

Congrats on your amazing weightloss. I also watch the sugars and I peel all my fresh fruits but the acid is probably too much in the tomatoes. I don't care for tomatoe soup so that isn't a big problem for me. Thanks. Susy
