I have had my ileostomy for 4 years and have learned the basics of what to and what not to eat, time to eat, size of meals, and all of that stuff. Sometimes by error, like when I ate too many peanuts and was clogged and miserable for two days. I am trying to find a good source of easy recipes/menus that I can use for food shopping and meal making. This can be a book or anybody's favorite recipes. I am a man, so it has to be simple (ha, ha). I like mostly American food, no Indian, Thai, or "unusual" foods. Ok, call it boring, I don't care. Any suggestions?
