OMG I have found out what the foamies are!!!!!!

Well I was out with one of my kiddos and they wanted to eat some rice and chicken for lunch. I was like ok lets go to the sushi bar since I can eat fish now. I ate on piece of a sushi roll than the foamies started. I kept burping trying to keep it donw. Excused my self ran to the bathroom and dry heaved for a couple of min. I never came up. But man. Felt like my chest  was filling with foam and Like a choking feeling where gas kept coming up.. Wow bad feeling. I do not know if it was the rice or the seaweed. WOW never want that feeling again.

Ouch. Yeah.. My first and hopefully last bout with the foamies was with a piece of chicken a week ago. I need to take smaller bites and chew, chew, chew.

My surgeon told me to never ever eat sushi, becuase it has sticky rice and is bad for the stoma. So for me I am scare of it because of that alone.

You have learned very valuable lesson, Grasshopper.

I'm 14 months out and still have trouble with rice. It's on my "nope - not going there" list. I gotta say, as much as I hated getting the foamies or getting sick - that was the "teacher" for me to eat smaller bites, slow down, and eat the right kind of foods. It was a great day when I had gone a week without getting  them!

AND BOY do they show up when least expecting them to! finding out hard way as you have..think we all have.
