Ileostomate with SBS here.
I know some of you all chimed in missing sex but TODAY I miss so many damn foods I just want to honor them here and say hello to them.
These are food items I have given up because they either caused blockages, dehydration, diarrhea, or hyper output.
Cobb, Caesar, and especially Spinach salad with hot bacon dressing
Sweet corn on the cob dripping with butter and lightly salted
Nuts, sunflower seeds, protein bars with nuts and such.
Oranges
Potatoes, apples, and grapes with skins on (I peel them now)
Crispy stir-fried vegetables (Now I have to overcook them to make sure they are real soft)
Meds in capsule form
I miss all of those things today!
