Coconut

[3momchaos]

My program says no shredded coconut forever after surgery because of problems digesting it. Anyone else have that guideline? Wouldn’t that be the same for pulp on lemonade or orange juice? Just curious.

I've not had restriction on coconut and I have eaten it.

I had coconut and orange juice and didn’t have any problems don’t remember if it was restricted though

I guess I should have asked my doctor, so I googled it. While rare, I guess this explains it. But I don’t have coconut often, so I’m not sure it would be an issue. I’ll stay away from it for now anyways. Coconut Bezoars in Patients with Prior Bariatric Surgery:... : Official journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACG

Coconut wouldn't a big loss for me as I've never liked it, but I sorry you can't enjoy it!

Wow, never heard of that before. I don't eat it often but have sometimes eaten things with flakes of coconut.
