Jpouchers: do not eat granola!

I came home late last night after a concert with friends in Potsdam. Hungry. The guys who had lived in my apartment in August had left a big box of Jordan's granola. So the easiest thing to do was eat a bowl of this with soy milk and the stuff got very soft, so I thought it would be alright. The consequences were having to get up for extensive pooing four times in the night, and again at 8 in the morning. This is not exactly catastrophic but I usually am very careful about when I eat to keep the night-time wake-ups to a minimum because I'm a big sleep-enough freak.

You poor thing! Granola is very high fiber. I can eat it in the morning but in small quantities.

Sue is right, we are all different. I eat granola everyday. My sister has a j pouch too and I can eat things she can't and visa versa. Sorry it threw you for a loop but also don't assume you can never have it again. Try it again in a few months. In the beginning I could never eat tomato sauce....it would kill me. Now I can have it no problem.

I have found granola does the same thing to me... just plain oatmeal multiplies into a lot of extra bathroom trips, as well. Our young jpouches are still learning, though, and hopefully in the future things will be different!
