Hello -- I'm 73 and have had my ileostomy bag since April 18. I was concerned at first as to what I can and cannot eat. Presently, I eat anything I like. If the food is spicy (which I love), I'll pay for it later as it will bother my stoma. Other than that, I find if I chew my food really well, I don't have any problems at all. I love salads, pasta, pizza, and occasionally Mexican, except I stay away from the hot sauce!
