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.

CarpeJugulum · 23/11/2012 21:03

No one told me it wasn't?!

Fakebook · 23/11/2012 21:04

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

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

PandaNot · 23/11/2012 21:05

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

Loislane78 · 23/11/2012 21:05

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

DorsetKnob · 23/11/2012 21:05

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

TeeHollyandTeeIvy · 23/11/2012 21:05

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.

Mrsjay · 23/11/2012 21:05

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

CaliforniaLeaving · 23/11/2012 21:05

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

Heavywheezing · 23/11/2012 21:06

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

Mrsjay · 23/11/2012 21:08

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. Hmm

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? Hmm

Mrsjay · 23/11/2012 21:11

salt infecting a scar Confused 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

LalyRawr · 23/11/2012 21:11

I thought salt was a disinfectant?

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

TeeHollyandTeeIvy · 23/11/2012 21:11

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

Fakebook · 23/11/2012 21:11

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

KermitRuffinsTrumpet · 23/11/2012 21:11

I'll have your chicken soup Grin

[Hopeful]

She sounds like a shiteater.

ImAlpharius · 23/11/2012 21:12

Isn't salt good to ward against infections?

DorsetKnob · 23/11/2012 21:13

Salt is great for wounds.

TeeHollyandTeeIvy · 23/11/2012 21:13

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

She's a cow.

Fakebook · 23/11/2012 21:14

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.

Mrsjay · 23/11/2012 21:14

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

Loislane78 · 23/11/2012 21:15

she'll barely be eating anything next time you see her given there's trace salt in practically everything!
