Have you tried to eat corn?

I ate 2 tablespoons of cooked corn for supper, and then I was up all night with incredible gastric/intestine pains! (Worse than labour pains)

Are we allowed to eat corn?  It felt like my stomach seperated from my intestines.  I was cold sweatings and had the chills.

Woke up today and felt like crap!

How far out are you? I haven't had any problems with corn but I took in REALLY slowly at first. Maybe just a few kernels. Hope you feel better, soon!

Wow!  Michelle, that sounds so awful.  I hope you are feeling better tonight! 

I had a similar experience with a couple of bites of a peeled microwaved new potato.  It was agony with the sweats and instead of the chills, I felt so hot I thought I was going to ignite into flames.

As far as corn, I have only had a very few kernels at a time.  (Like in the tortilla soup I had Sunday.)  No effect at all.

Hopefully, you won't have to face this again.

Michelle,

No problems with corn for me either but I'm six months out. I probably only had a few kernals at a time though....maybe a nibble off the corn of the cob last weekend and no problems.

Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!

Corn hurt like hell the first time I attempted to eat it then I burped it up for hours after I'd eaten it. I avoided it through my losing stage, and was well past 6 months post-vsg before I ate it. Currently, I have zero issues with corn, but the first couple of times I ate it, the experiences was unpleasant.
