seeds...strawberry, sesame, whatever other kind...

I saw on a post I think yesterday, where someone said that seeds, such as strawberry seeds, can get stuck in our staple lines???

I find this hard to believe.  The staple line is on the outside of the pouch, right???  Anyway, I ate some chinese chicken salad that had sesame seeds.  Should I be worried????

I was told not to eat strawberries, tomatoes, or anything with small seeds.  I would think you would know by now if something was stuck. 

Right...I would know, but for future reference, am I never to eat strawberries, sesame seeds, etc? ever again? I don't want to find out too late that I shouldn't have been eating them all along!

I eat strawberries and sesame seeds all the time and have never had a problem.  They're so little, I can't imagine having trouble...

Was this someone just a 'nay-sayer' spreading/embellishing an old wives tale???? 

I can't remember on which thread I saw it.  But, I have been worried since.  It may have not been yesterday...but it was this week.

Thanks!

Don't worry....I don't think they would give you any trouble unless you had other gastric/bowel problems like Crohn's disease, diverticulitis or IBS or something along those lines....

I was told I could eat them.  The only issue might come if you have diverticulitis.  Otherwise, as long as they don't bother you, eat them.

Not tryin' to start anything or call anyone out, but here is the post where someone says strawberry seeds can get in the staples:

:) this was my post, and I think that they meant not to eat seeds so close to surgery, not that you shouldn't eat them at all.

also, re: diverticulits, seeds are what gets caught, but not the culprit. Eating lots of fiber and drinking lots of water prevents diverticultis. Not eating fiber and not drinking water cause it...

I eat strawberries, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. Never had a problem, and was never told not to eat them.
