This topic is about the challenges that people with ostomies might face when it comes to certain foods, particularly those that can cause blockages, like peanuts. The person who started the discussion loves peanuts but has had to go to the hospital twice because of blockages after eating them. They are curious if others with ostomies have similar issues with different foods.

Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

1. Chew foods that are known to cause problems, like peanuts, very thoroughly to help reduce the risk of blockages.

2. Some foods that are commonly avoided due to their high residue include peanuts, popcorn, corn (which can take a week to pass), tomato skins, and pineapple.

3. Everyone's tolerance to these foods can be quite different. Some people with ostomies can eat peanuts or other nuts without any trouble, while others choose to avoid them completely.

4. If you've had bowel surgery, your tolerance to certain foods might change. For example, one person found they could no longer eat pineapple after having small-bowel surgery, which led to a blockage and hospitalization.

5. When in doubt, it's safer to avoid foods that have caused issues in the past. Many people with ostomies have a personal list of foods they never eat to prevent blockages.

6. Looking through older discussions in forums can provide more experiences and dietary tips from others in the community.
