I'm interested in how much food a person with a stoma bag should eat each day and if there is really a benefit to eating smaller meals over 5 or 6 times a day rather than the 3 which has been our norm. I'm asking this specifically as I haven't had my stoma for very long (a couple of weeks) and have switched to smaller meals. However, I have had 2 accidents which both came on suddenly. One with the small meals and one eating our old meal size which, though not large, is more than I have been having. Any thoughts on this process would be helpful. Thanks, Moan-A
