I was told in the first year not to eat raw carrots - too hard to digest. Popcorn, corn, bread and pastas. I was told that bread swells in the pouch. I've heard that pasta and rice have a tendency to clump together makeing you feel very uncomortable. I also didn't eat salad for a very long time. I still have problems digesting tomatoe bits, even if very small. I have issues with apples and citrus. I can eat them but they cause abdominal cramps and a quick scoot to the bathroom in the morning. No problems with bananas though. On the coconut issue, hummm, maybe because it's hard to digest and have a lot of calories?
I was also told that you will tolerate some things very well today and then the next week it will make you sick. Although he couldn't explaine why. I think as we are all individuals, everyone's experience is different.
I was never told there was anything that I would never be able to eat again. I do seem to recall something about not swallowing gum and shouldn't drink carbonated beverages though.
Best of luck on your journey.
Sharon
