Why are som people allowed to eat mashed potatoes, bread, & crackers?

My doctors office said that we are absolutely not allowed potatoes,crackers, bread etc. Especially within the first two weeks and even long term we should stay away from carbs because they turn to sugar once digested. Now I have done my research and I agree with him regarding carbs, so my question is why do I see people post question where they say to try these things or that they are eating them and they may help people who are having trouble eating. I am so confused! Why are some people allowed carbs and some are not?
