Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 I had a lot of itching after my revision, but it was more like it was internal itching. Very hard to explain, but was constantly scratching. Apparently after my revision I had extreme cravings for cucumbers and tomatoes. That's all I ate for a few weeks after the surgery. That's all I wanted. Apparently I was having an allergic reaction to the tomatoes. As soon as I stopped eating them, the itching went away. I can still eat tomatoes, but not a few a day and not every day. What's that saying, " anything in moderation is ok " . I'm sure since your mother's surgery she has been eating differently, but is she eating something in particular that she never really ate before on a more regular basis? Could be the culprit. Hope this helps you. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not amazing to me, but my dietician buddies will argue with me forever that these even need to BE tested! LOL! Hopefully you changed FROM sulfate to carbonyl? How many mg?
