One of my favorite foods is tomatoes out of the garden. My question to you good folks is: if I peel a tomato, can I make a toasted tomato sandwich? Ileostomy. Wouldn't be able to remove the seeds though. It's been 3 months past surgery and I have not had a blockage, but I also don't want one. I have been able to pass the small white watermelon seeds OK. Also, I would love to eat some onions if I cooked them and cut them fine. Need to expand my diet a bit to include some veggies. Thanks for any ideas.
