My dietician told me 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 your not going out for a few hours after drinking it

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

I do crushed can pineapple in unflavored jello with some mint and it is the perfect amount of fiber and sweetness for a snack during the day. Have not had any issues eating it. And putting in a smoothy sounds good.

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

Interesting. I would of 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 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. Hahah

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. :)
