Hi gang,
Life with T2 is very challenged with an ileostomy. It seems brutally unfair that so mant healthy foods will cause blockages. I have had my first blockage. Not eager to repeat!!
Anyother T2 peeps on this amazing forum? Maybe we can chat about how you eat? To be honest I am pretty sure my pancreas is almost just pooped out- it doesn't seem to be helping much without insulin.
Thanks gang
Jes
Hey True,
I'm T2 with Illiostomy. It does add a bit of a challenge, I do a lot of smoothies, blending, juicing and soups on those difficult foods and still get the nutritional and calories ( not that I need the calories 🥺 ). At least you have the hot air balloon festival 🤣🤣🤣. Although it would be cool to attend.
I fill in the Nutritional gaps with lots of Twinkies.
have a great day

Hello everyone!!!
It has been almost a year since joining this site. I just wanted to share. I know a lot of people get concerned about meeting someone on here. I'm not a lifer membership and I had someone initiate to take me out. I've been divorced since 2009. He lives in Chicago. I ignored the first time thinking he was joking. I live in Milwaukee. So a month later he sent me a message through this site saying he wanted to meet me. That was in April this year. I must say it was the best thing that could happen to me. We talk almost every day. We have so much in common. He comes up all the time to spend the day or weekend together. It really does make a difference when someone has an ostomy like you. Such understanding and we always have something to talk about. I want to share because sometimes people think it's hard to meet someone or they say this site doesn't work. I'm a testimony that this site does work. We are talking marriage this time next year. I will keep you posted.
What are twinkies and what type of soup is tolerated by ileostomy without producing gas and runny output ? Thanks
