Sooooooo,
I just got my ileostomy in February and was given a booklet which contained lots of information about what you could not eat/should avoid with an ostomy. I was concerned about what to attempt but have found, as I have noted others have advised, that it's about trialing what your stoma can tolerate. Anyway, I decided that a blog would better capture what I found to be interesting to eat. There are no quantities listed here as I'm sure you can please yourself regarding your own appetite.
Mozzarella & Giant Couscous Salad.

Watercress, chopped
Potatoes
Mozzarella ball (tear into pieces)

Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes into chunks, chop the watercress roughly and put both in a large mixing bowl.
