Ok, so I know for ileostomates, corn is not generally advised, nor is popcorn. But I never really considered cornmeal. There is a light dusting of cornmeal on the bottom of my English muffins, and it comes out in my bag. All little tiny dots of it. It makes an interesting pattern. So, what is up with that? Does cornmeal not digest because it is a corn product, or is my ostomy just unusually talented in finding things in my food and spitting them out? I think it is just weird.
