Anyone else have issues eating rice post-surgery?
So I’m about 4 months post op, and have had to navigate bile acid malabsorption (which I take colestid for) but that’s been pretty manageable with colestid and taking about 3 tbsp of psyllium husk a day to boost fiber and soak up the bile.
My initial first encounter with it was about 2 months post op, I had made a big bowl of chicken and white rice for lunch, then had some for dinner; only to wake up the next morning with green diarrhea and pain that was very similar to my former sharp GB pain when eating literally anything for the entirety of the day. I never equated it to rice, but figured it was probably just something that was bound to happen.
2 months later, I make curry and white rice for lunch and probably ate a little too much of it and noticed some pain in the former GB area. Not caring too much and being hungry I ate the curry/rice for dinner again, and that night felt the same similar sharp stabbing pain I had at my worst flair ups pre-op.
Took it easy for a few days, upped the fiber and it’s eased off, but does anyone else have issues with rice or know why it would cause that? Is it maybe too dense of a carb for the system to handle in large quantities? Because honestly I can eat a large amount of bread, good amt of fried food, etc during a day and not have really any issues.
But I haven’t heard of people having a problem with rice.
