I made the mistake of eating too much dried pineapple (core intact) and had the worst blowout. Anyone else had that experience? I think the core part caused a blockage, then it just made a huge mess when I woke up one day. Thank goodness for waterproof mattress covers!

I eat pineapple slices, drink pineapple juice with no trouble. But I do wear a Hollister bag retention belt, just in case my stoma goes "postal" on me.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Last time I ate pineapple, I ended up in the hospital for 1 week. They were just thinking about taking me down for surgery when the blockage started to clear. I know lots are lucky and can eat it problem-free, but never again for me.

Yep,
I can empathize on the dried pineapple core - it's the core that is the worst bit.
Nowadays I can eat small amounts of fresh pineapple when cooked and well chewed - but at best, pineapple 'eats' us [literally] as we eat it! I do so love the juice though! And pineapple bitters is good too - a bit of rarity - but I have enjoyed it.
Thank God for 'travel bags' / mattress covers!
Best wishes,
Jayne
