Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 tonight I was able to get ONLY 4 forkfuls of black eyed peas in me and then the stomach pain started....all over 11 minutes....mild but chronic pain.....I know to eat carbs and not fat, but is protein totally ruled out??? i've lost 28 lbs in 7 weeks....I'm 58 and " new " with these symptoms. Antacids don't touch it. Thanks Shybasset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I eat a moderate amount of carbs but I eat a lot of protein to keep my muscle mass up. I calculate the amount I need for kg and try and get at least 2/3 of that each day. I am only on pureed food and the pain comes with every meal. I don't have any suggestions just that I keep trying. Take care and God Bless. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Shybasset, have you tried nutritional supplements? They are sometimes easier on the pancreas, but still have some protein content to help you get it. It's worth a try. I always keep some on hand for those days when everything causes pain or I'm on fluids only. It's worth a try. I've found the Ensure's High Protein, Chocolate Royale flavor the best for me. It's got the highest protein content with only 6 grams of fat. There are many other flavors, so it's worth trying. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
