Greetings fellow ostimates, here's wishing you all the best or the best you can expect, I've had my ileostomy for ten years and just lately I've started having blowouts and lucky for me they didn't cause much damage,. except for changing the flange more often. My question has to do with hydration and I always make sure I have plenty to drink, but my drinks are mostly apple juice and mostly in the winter, during the hot summer I will consume plenty of ice water. What really nags me is my doctor tells me to cut out the apple juice which I have been drinking for the last five years or so and find it hard to believe its only now affecting me and causing the blowouts. Now I'd just like to know if others are into drinking juice and having any problems, so here's thanking you in advance, Ed
