beans

I haven't had my take-down yet, but the colectomy and jpouch-forming in two operations. After each OP, it took my time adding foods to my diet. AT first it was the usual bland white food, then came cooked vegees, and then came salad after about 2-3 months each time. I am not a big bean fan so I haven't tried them, but I would assume they are like anything else, so I would not start with a big chili, but I would eat a few cooked beans as part of a meal and see how that goes. Then increase with time. I like lentils very much and wll try and see how it goes eating lentils, but I will wait about 3 months after take down. I think you can proceed with pretty much any kind of food that you like in the same way.

too funny, i had my takedown 3 weeks ago and i am on the same "white diet" and didn't really realize it. it's worked for me and beans would scare me to try. your body just may not be ready yet for beans. like pancakes says, try it slowly little by little and see what happens.

good luck
