Was doing well until the last two weeks. I have been having problems with my stomach. Diahrea on and off. It seems to happen after I have eaten something I should not have. (mc nuggets, chocolate malted, pizza) I thought I could eat anything as long as mashed up. I have no problem eating most things. Just have to cut small pieces and remember to chew well. Anyone else have this problem?

Teapot01:

Your digestive system is telling you that it's not ready for those types of foods, yet. You are eating fried foods, chocolate, and pizza all things that even though they are mashed up can still be irritating to your stomach while it's still in the healing process. You may be experiencing something called "dumping syndrome" that you may want to do a search on.

Thanks. I think you are right. I did not have any problems whatsoever until the last few weeks. I think I have to rethink what I eat for now. Had two teeth pulled two weeks ago leaving me with no back teeth which is also a problem now but figured I knew what to do the same as right after surgery.
