I’m trying to gauge if this is common or not. After I had my colon removed this summer, foods/drinks that were my favorite changed drastically. I don’t know if it’s the same for people who still have some of their colon… I started craving salt above everything else. I never used to like club soda but now I do. I used to love sneaking leftover cake for breakfast (hiding it from my kids) but now sweet things like that are meh to me. When I do recognize hunger I always want something warm and salty. I spent a week experimenting trying to figure out what type of eggs are my favorite now and then I got tired of eggs for a bit 😆. I’m a couple weeks shy of being 7 months out from having my colon removed so I don’t know if my body is still trying to get to know how it works now? I wasn’t prepared for the loss of knowing what I like and not having any predictable “go to’s”. Wondering if this is a Jodie (myself) issue or if it’s something that is even semi common?
