I know with this you cannot eat beef or pork. I guess my concern is the colon cleansing(13 months post op) What do you think?    — sharon G. (posted on May 2, 2003)

Remember,You had a pretty good colon cleansing the night before your surgery with that gawd-awful stuff you had to drink to clean you out. Since you are so close to having had surgery, I'd strongly suggest you talk to your surgeon about it first. I think i read it takes about 6 months for the surgery to heal and you are not there yet. I'd be concerned about the possibility of introducing germs or bacteria into unhealed abdominal incisions at this point.
