I've had my ostomy for six months now. Can I eat Del Monte canned cream style corn without any issues?

Good question. Everyone is different. Eat a small amount, chewed well. Drink lots of water... see what happens.
Avoid fruit with skin still on, like an unpeeled apple. Peel off the skin, and you can then eat it safely. The skin can cause a blockage in your stoma, which is no fun.
No matter what you eat: chew, chew, chew it well.

Good Evening Bob and All,
I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.
Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,

I eat anything and everything. Introduce things slowly. At six months, you should be well on your way to eating normally again. Just don't eat a huge amount of something you have been avoiding in one sitting, not yet anyway...

Corn is the food that comes up very often on here. I can't eat it without leaking. Others can. I would try any food in a very small amount and see if you can tolerate it. I will also say chew, chew and chew some more. Good luck.

I suffer from corn scorn… without good reason - don't think I've had it for 3-1/2 years now due to fear of blockage… knock on wood because I haven't had that yet either. Chew chew chew is key as everyone says - a good old corn on the cob sounds wonderful to me so maybe in season I will give it a shot… uh probably a poor choice of words, sorry… jb
