Question about celery

Nora S.Member

I haven't had my pouch done yet, 8/18 is the date!! Anyway, I was told not to eat celery or any other fruit or vegetable with 'strings'.
So, I made a stew and sliced the celery thin, can I eat the celery? You all are so informative and I'm so glad I found this site. Anyway, does anyone know? And, once the pouch is made, will I be able to eat celery and such like I did before this new reality of life?? ��

It can be an issue at times but more so raw. If I cooked my veggies well it helped quite a bit. There will always be times when you can eat something one day and it's fine then the next time not. With me that's always been the case so I would take my chances and try and chew them well.

I've had my pouch for a pretty long time, and I certainly enjoy eating celery. After your pouch is functioning you're likely to have a relatively unrestricted diet. You'll only know if you can't eat things by trying them (preferably in moderation at first).

I don't know who told you to avoid celery, but I eat it all the time with no problem. In fact there isn't a raw fruit or vegetable that I don't eat because of my jpouch. You might not be be able to enjoy these foods immediately post reversal, but in time you should. When introducing foods again, eat a small amount and see how you do, if it's not comfortable, try it again weeks later.
