Food - cabbage

Can anyone tell me real quick if raw-ish cabbage like in cole slaw is ok with no colon?

I buy the store-bought coleslaw with finer pieces and I have never had any problem having it.

Well I tried it at this German restaurant since i didn’t see a reply so we’ll see how it goes 😆

I eat raw cabbage often, just cut out chunks and chew on 'em.  I've never had a problem.  

It's ok for me, as with all food I can't tell you if it's ok for you only way you can find out is to try it for yourself  just a small amount then if it was to cause a problem it will be short lived.

Currently curled up in a recliner in a fetal position with a heating pad, so I don’t think me and anything with cabbage will be friends anytime soon. But there was also something else I tried that I didn’t know had apples in it and I haven’t been able to eat anything ‘apple’ since I had my colon removed including applesauce so it could be the combination of the two. This is why brain thinks food is evil 😜

Sorry it didn't set well, but now I'm hungry for cole slaw 😜

It’s ok, me and the heating pad are current besties. I  drank a café au lait too which I think is helping? I took a peppermint/ginger/fennel gel so maybe that gets some credit too. 😁

I’m glad you’re craving cole slaw now 😆

It would go well with the BBQ chicken we are having tonight, but none on hand.....what kind of tummy issues are you having?

If not for distance I coulda shared 😉

Based on where the pain is I think it was in my stomach for a while. Now based on swelling I think it’s made its way into my small intestine. Heating pad and hot liquids, now just water seems to be helping. Going to try for a walk later but it’s rainy/cold here. 

Was the cabbage shredded or finely chopped?

Hmmmm. I just took a survey and the consensus is shredded. Long pieces.  

Have you ever tried coca-cola for blockages? Works every time .

Just went out and got a sonic Cherry limeade. Carbonation is carbonation right? Unless coke has magical properties I’m not aware of? 😃

The cole slaw you ate was long pieces (shredded)? Consensus says chopped to be easier to handle?

I surveyed my family since there are leftovers here 😁. So their consensus is long, shredded pieces. Not finely chopped. The husband thinks I would’ve had to chew it 300x’s (his words) for it to be in an easier to digest form 😝 

What a brilliant idea why didn't I think that sooner thanks for sharing I will keep that one in mind.

I'm make & eat homemade coleslaw with buttermilk dressing that I absolutely love it's not as sweet as some of the store-bought versions however remember that cabbage particularly raw cabbage can cause a lot of gas and that can also be causing your discomfort.  Any vegetables that are typically listed as gassy have the potential to give you discomfort in your abdomen I would say probably a year or two after your last surgery on your guts.  I buy the Taylor farms cabbage from Amazon.

Sorry I'm a bit late madam, never had any issues and I eat my fair share of coleslaw and the like.  😃

I think coke has something in it that’s highly secretive. It clears my kitchen sink and it’s great for the toilet bowl to get off cacked stools!! I use just plain hot water to help with blockage r me rand that works for me. I keep drinking and March in place. It may take a few hours but it always passes and it is good exercise. 

Sounds like it will be 1-2 years before I try again 😆

You get a pass with the whole time difference thing 😉

It’s Coke only for me 

So I swear, and i don’t know if it’s possible… I was getting a migraine infusion cocktail today and toward the end the nurse fully opened the bolus iv with saline in it so I wouldn’t have to sit there as long… and this is the part I’m not sure about because I didn’t ingest it orally but it seemed to have pushed the cabbage that was still stuck faster through my small intestine. Possible or coincidence?

Good morning 

I have issues with many foods and I don’t come here much but I can’t do dairy and fruits and vegs much only a couple and many things bother me as I won’t ever even try again cabbage I was thinking I was having a baby and had to pick it out of the stoma sorry just being honest o would be careful what you eat done eat mostly everything happy for them! Hope everyone is doing good June 1
