can I eat raisin bran?

Sandra, I can eat raisins with no problem - in fact, my surgeon suggested that I eat a few raisins or a couple of prunes every day to help with constipation. I love the prunes - but raisins tend to be a little too sweet for me. He told me not to worry about the carbs in these because they are very high fiber and we need that. Patty

Regular raisin bran from the grocery store might cause you to dump. There's lots of added sugar, plus raisins and lactose sugar in the milk. Maybe you can find some at Trader Joe's or a health food store with less sugar. I tried eating Kashi Go Lean Crunch the other day because it has 9g of protein. I dumped badly on that, unfortunately. It has 13 gr. of sugar and I forgot to consider the lactose sugar from the milk. I guess that's just a little too much for me.
