Can I eat canned carrots with an ileostomy?

I have a new ileostomy . Still struggling with what I can and can't eat. Just wondering if I can eat canned carrots without them causing a blockage? Thanks

The canned ones are cooked already so heat them up and you're good to go. Start small and see what you can tolerate. 

I can and have done for over 30 years and freshly grown ones from my allotment.

All you can do is try everything in small portions to see if it's right for yourself then if it was to cause a problem it wont be that bad

Ah that's good to know. Thank you.

Thank you that's reassuring .

It's like someone told me on here a few months ago, sometimes you've got to try it to decide if it's what works for you. I have a colostomy and ate some canned carrots the other week and didn't have an issue. So I hope the same goes for you.

Eat them all the time, but some of them come out in the same form as they entered the stomach so help them out by chewing properly, start small.

I eat them raw and cooked have my ileostomy for 13 years, try small portions and as my then Nurse told me, Chew chew chew the smaller the better 

Yes. 

Cooked, raw, even straight out of the ground with a quick wash of the hose, all good to go!

Hi, I have found that I can eat fresh carrots as well as tinned, providing that they are very well cooked ( boiled) until they are soft.

yep just chew real well and don't be surprised if waste changes color to match enjoy

Hi when you first have an ostomy I remember being frightened of everything I ate.  So small amounts are best if its not a food you had since your surgery .  The important thing to know is that you need to chew your food very well and take your time eating.  

I make a purée of steamed carrots, garlic, butter, salt and pepper 

With my ileostomy, raw carrots in small portions.  Cooked carrots a bit bigger portion.

I just passed my 25th anniversary with a stoma and have eaten both canned and fresh carrots for all those years. I have had good luck with most all vegetables and only have had issues with corn. As someone else said, try small portions and see where it takes you. Each person's stoma activity is different so experiment, don't just take everyone's word as their stoma may react totally different than yours. You may be surprised what you can still enjoy in moderation.
