Prepared to be told I'm wrong. So, is food with salt allowed after a c-section? Assuming there are no hypertension problems or other problems.

Yes. You can eat whatever you want after a CS.

No one told me it wasn't?!

Hmm. So she IS just being a fucking bitch as always.

Never heard of this. I wolfed down a ton of it after mine

I can't see why not, and I've had two sections. No one has told me not to.

Why do you think you would you not be able to? Unless you have some medical reasons etc., its totes fine.

Two sections here and that is a new one on me.

I mean, they made me wait about 12 hours after mine before I could eat anything I wanted, but there was no restriction about salt.

who told you not to and why ? not that I had a section just wondering

Yes, I had no restrictions on food and ate everything I could get my hands on I was starving.

unless you are going to rub it on your scar, I can't see why not

come on fakebook enlighten us ,

My sil had a baby yesterday. I made her chicken soup today and sent it in with my dad. My brother just bought it back and said she can't eat it because its got salt in it and the doctors have told her not to eat salt as it will infect her section scar.

I sent in a whole bag of unused clothes of my ds's aswell. No thanks or anything.

That's priceless, since when has ingested salt infected scars?

salt infecting a scar old doctor told me years ago to have a salt bath too avoind infection in my stomach scars, that really is a new one on me

I thought salt was a disinfectant?

Salt in wounds hurts like hell, but it cleans it!

She's insane. Just keep telling yourself that. And an ungrateful cow.

She's just doing it because she hates me. What a bitch. Now my DH is getting pissed off with me ranting about it.

I'll have your chicken soup

[Hopeful]

She sounds like a shiteater.

Isn't salt good to ward against infections?

Salt is great for wounds.

That is true. When you have oral surgery they tell you to gargle with salt water to prevent infection.

She's a cow.

Yes. Salt is a preservative and prevents things from going off. I was going to send in my arnica tablets too, but I'll let the bitch suffer the pain now.

yes salt is a natural cleanser you are supposed to gargle with salt after getting a tooth out. your SIL was being weird and ill have your soup
