I'm actually alright with the fizzy drinks these days and even bought a bottle of Coke yesterday, had a glass and no problems at all.

I wish folks would post what type of ostomy they have. With my colostomy, there are few foods I can't eat, but I know ileostomates have much greater restrictions.
I missed popcorn for the longest time - now I can eat it.
I miss spinach salad too - also red leaf lettuce.
But the absolute worst, as you've probably heard before, is no fresh pineapple!!!!!! (or coconut for that matter)
Also, I can only drink one Guinness at a time.
MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,451 members.
“I found real people, real humor, and answers I couldn’t get anywhere else.”
“The support here impressed my husband’s medical team - they plan to recommend it.”
“This community saved me when I thought I was a freak. Now I’m thriving.”
“Thank god for this site - I finally knew what to ask my surgeon.”

I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days.
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!
