Before I got sick, and before I got my ileostomy, I was a vegetarian, and a vegan at one point. I am used to eating meat now just so that I can get the protein I need, because I realized everything non-meat with a lot of protein also has a lot of fiber, and that's no good. So I was wondering if anyone is or knows anyone who successfully is a vegetarian with an ostomy. And if so, any tips?

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
