Has anyone tried pineapple in smoothies with your ileostomy?

My dietitian told me that if it's puréed well, like in a smoothie, you're good.

Yes, it won't cause any blockages in a smoothie. As with everything, it's possible it could cause loose output, so try it when you're not going out for a few hours after drinking it.

MeetAnOstoMate website turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I say this because, for me, this ostomy journey was a devastating event both physically and mentally.
Here, I found folks who understood my feelings even better than my family or friends could. Only a fellow ostomate can understand how you really feel.

Information sharing is key, as well as support and understanding, to ultimately bring more harmony into our ostomy life journey. I found here, virtually no ostomy questions that are not touched upon. Questions which some might feel, may be too trivial to contact a doctor about or even too shy or embarrassed to ask their own doctor about. They are all addressed here.

For me, anonymity was very helpful in seeking answers to each phase of this life changing medical and mental event. Sharing initial trauma feelings, ongoing support and finally acceptance was what I found with my membership here. I am not sure what my mental and physical attitude would be today without having found this site.

Additional benefits included: finding products and ideas to help with daily maintenance, innovative ideas and as a bonus - some great humor.
After all “laughter IS the best medicine”.

I have been a member for 3 years, an ostomate for 4 years - yes, I certainly wish I would have found it immediately after surgery but so very thankful I finally found it when I did as I truly believe it turned my troubled depression and situation into a more positive attitude and acceptance.

Sincerely,
An Ileostomate nicknamed Justbreathe 🫶🏼

Ben, I'm sorry, but every time I see you say "try it," it just makes me laugh a little now.

I do crush canned pineapple in unflavored jello with some mint, and it is the perfect amount of fiber and sweetness for a snack during the day. I have not had any issues eating it. Putting it in a smoothie sounds good.

I can do most tropical fruits in a smoothie with my ileostomy. Just not fruits with skin or seeds like grapes, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries. But I am good with mango, pineapple, pears, bananas, etc.

Interesting. I would have thought since everything is blended up, it wouldn't matter much. &zwj

I was told I could eat anything that is small enough to come out of my stoma. So I eat everything. I even blend nuts. I ate carrots the other day that were cut up tiny, and all good.

Coming out and sensitivities are different, though. I don't have issues eating anything as long as it comes out. I drink a bottle of hot sauce basically every day. Hahaha.

I have pineapple most days in a smoothie and have no issues whatsoever, so give it a go!

I love my combo pizza with pineapple, no more than a slice a day. :)
