Hi everyone!

I was wanting to ask about eating granola. I was wanting to add some granola to my yogurt and other things. Do you think this may cause a blockage or something more serious?

Thanks for your advice and input.

I can eat it without any problems, but I can't say if you can. Just try a small amount and see how it goes; it's the only way.

I’ve only been on this site a little bit, I hardly know how to navigate it, LOL! I just want to say that everyone seems so kind and supportive to each of the members and it’s not only helpful, it makes me happy that there really are so many nice people in this world that can sometimes feel so bleak and cold. I didn’t even know about this site until I found it by accident. I think the hospital staff should bring it to their patients’ attention. Thanks to all, even if you’re just listening!

Welcome Mindy..🤗

Train of thought is to always chew chew chew.. and start off little by little..

Nice snack idea.

Try it in small amounts first. You may have a large amount of output once it comes out since it's basically fiber.

I sprinkle a very small amount on my yogurt without a problem, but there again, chew, chew, and chew again. You won't know until you try it.

Do you have a colostomy or an ileostomy? This can make a difference in what you can eat safely. Agree though if you are going to try it, try a small amount at first and see how that goes before diving in.

Finally, 2 years after my husband's ileostomy, he tried cashews. He just made sure to chew really well and had no problem. Like they always suggest, try a little the first time. The only thing we're still leery of him trying is corn. And I know a lot of the members eat it without issue.

Adding milk or yogurt will soften the granola. This reduces the amount of chewing required.
