Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I eat corn all the time, and have never had a problem. I was never told to stay away from corn or bread. Just rice.. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I have a very dear friend that ended up in the emergency room from eating a hot dog bun. it wasn't the hot dog that caused his problem it was the bun. it had formed a ball and they had to remove it. him telling me that little story makes me not want to take the chance.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 It has always been my understanding that our bodies, whether altered through surgery or completely intact, can't digest corn. You might be able to eat it,but I am not sure you would get any benefit from it and not sure how that would hinder digestion since it comes out (sorry to be blunt) in the same form it went in. Dora Corn Has anyone tried eating corn on the cob after surgery? I'm 9 weeks post-op and while I can eat a lot more foods now, I'm leery of it. I heard from the nutritionist that it can be hard to digest. But I must say...it's looking good when I serve it to my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ate 1/2 a cob with my grilled chicken ) I would make sure you chew well though. in Indiana Open RNY 2/25/04 265.4/205/135 5'5 " Age 28 -- Corn Has anyone tried eating corn on the cob after surgery?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I only repeated this story because the nutritionist claimed to have known the nurse who ate it post GBS and had the problem. This was supposed to be someone with whom she dealt personally. While I can't swear to the veracity of anything that didn't actually happen to me, the bread story makes sense.
