I woke up this morning very nauseous. I didn't toss my cookies but just felt like I needed too. My output is like water from my ileostomy but I am not having any pain so I do not think I am blocked. I have a mild head and neck ache as well. I am trying to keep hydrated with fluids but can any of you tell me what I can eat to thicken up my output so I don't end up dehydrated?? I am feeling hungry but stuff is flying through me at record speed. Would oatmeal help the issue?? Thank you!

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.
