Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Bethany, even 1/2 tsp of margarine in my green beans made me feel very sick. This happened twice to me (I didn't realize it was the butter the first time) so I know that it was the butter. We talked about this in my support group, and I found out that a lot of people have trouble with butter and other fats. My nurse said that some people even get dumping from it. Personally, I felt like I had swallowed a safe-like a big iron box was in my stomach-and I had diarrhea for a couple of hours. Everyone is different, but anytime I feel rotten I think through what I might have eaten differently than the last time, trying to narrow down what it was that could have caused the problem. Anyway, just a thought. I hope you feel better soon. Kelley RNY 5/12/04 374/329/175 jackrussellrunner wrote: > my diet seems different than everyone else's.
