HI SHELLEY... YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I, TOO, FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY THAT EATTING CORN IN ANY FORM IS NOT THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD TO DO. ALTHOUGH I KNEW THAT THE HUMAN BODY CANNOT DIGEST CORN AT ALL, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO EAT IT AFTER SURGERY. BOY WAS I WRONG!! PEOPLE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. ALTHOUGH CORN DOES TASTE GREAT AND WE ALL LOVE IT IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER, THE HUMAN BODY CANNOT DIGEST CORN AT ALL. ALL WE GET FROM CORN IS THE GOOD TASTE AND WEIGHT GAIN. THAT IS WHY CORN "COMES OUT" IN THE SAME FORM THAT IT "WENT IN." SO PLEASE, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MOOD FOR CORN. GO SLOW AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CAUSE YOURSELF ANY IMMEDIATE PAIN. LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL....

I've had no problems with corn nuts at all. I don't eat an entire can at once, of course. But whether corn nuts or corn on the cob, it's been no problem. I'm 6 months post-op with a DS and had my first corn nuts at 2 months post-op. Maybe it's a difference in surgery types, or could just be an individual thing. We all react differently to foods, right from the start. I'd say, if you want them, and your surgeon hasn't told you not to eat them, give them a try.

MMMMMMM - sooooooo yummy but did NOT agree with me after surgery, either! I got violantly ill after I ate some. Nautious, vomiting, etc. Don't know if it's the corn or the seasoning that was rough on me. No matter HOW much my head wants em from now on, my pouch will NOT get any!!!

there's nothing wrong with trying fresh corn in small amounts (lots of carbs). I had a half an ear of lovely fresh corn at about 2.5 months out and had no trouble. I'm guessing a little tiny bit of anything can go down ok, you just have to be careful...
