Top Foods that you struggled w/ giving up or were surprised you had to give up???
Yes, I have basically given up white flour because of the gas (nope, I don't suffer from diarrhea), but I still partake of the goodies, just not EVERY DAY and NOT 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time, and NOT 1/2 package or even a whole package of cookies at a time, and certainly NOT a HUGE piece of cake like before. If I want these things then I make sure to either have a smaller portion, or if I want to eat a larger amount then I make sure I know I'll be at home so the gas isn't a problem for anyone else. And since I completed a round of Flagyl a couple of weeks ago, even the gas is nil. And definitely much less than when I was pre-op!
Take it you're still stinging from the other day. It's ok, it'll go away soon.

Your issues are basically the same as any who have a shorter common channel. White flour products cause most of us to have gas, and for some diarrhea.
I doubt most people give them up entirely, instead place limits, such as you say in this post that you've done.
I am one who can learn, and I try to learn something every day. It's cause for enjoyment, not pain.
