Hi, I've had an ileostomy bag for 18 months. I have recently joined Slimming World 7 weeks ago and have lost 1 stone. However, I was admitted to hospital last week with severe kidney malfunction and dehydration. I'm wondering if by cutting down on processed foods (salt) and sweet things this may have been the reason? Just wondered if anyone else is at Slimming World and has suffered anything similar?
