G'day everyone, I have been reading how a lot of you have a very liquid output, which means we are probably talking about an ileostomy. So below I have listed a stew that I make, and not only does it taste great, but it will thicken your output and also give you protein as well as your veggies.

Ingredients:

½ kg or 1 lb stewing steak
2 large potatoes chopped into chunky pieces
2 large carrots cut into chunky pieces
2 onions chopped
4 sticks of celery cut up
Fill the pot with stock to cover the contents
Add salt, pepper, and lots of garlic

Cook simmering for 2 hours, then add ½ cup of long grain rice and cook for another ½ hour. If the stew is not thick enough, then add some gravy thickener.

This will make more than one meal.

Enjoy
Regards, IGGIE

Looks an awful lot like the stew I make. Except, I add a rutabaga (swede) in there. Good stuff. Thanks, Iggie. :-)

In both of my cases, I had no choice. It was surgery or be put 6 feet under! I thank God that He has been with me all these times. Without Him, I never would have known what to do and might not have gone to the hospital when I did. I don't know if you have had your surgery or not yet but I hope you will hang out on this website when you are done. I have learned a great deal through the people here and it is so great having others who have had the same thing done and been through what you are about to or have gone through. The only thing I have turned down is a reversal of the ileostomy. When the doctors did the emergency rebuilding of my original ileostomy this last February, I told them I did not want to go through this again. My doctor told me at that time that I was no longer a candidate for the reversal. In a way, I was very relieved. The last three years of my life have been a nightmare for me. I do not want to go through any of it again. If you wish to be rehooked up and they say you are a good choice for that, research it carefully. Every surgery I have ever had except for Old and New Maxine and the emergency surgery on my broken foot, I have spent weeks researching. I recently had my C5 C6 disk in my neck replaced with an artificial one. I went to my pre-op with 2 pages of questions for the doctor. I knew everything that they were going to do and could talk intelligently with them. I always try to research my adversaries! Don't cancel your surgery. It is nice not to have to suffer any longer with horrible pain. We all had to change a few things around when we had our surgeries but in the long run, most of us are glad we did it. I know I am. Good luck to you!

Looks like the Campbell stew ingredients. 😁
