Seeking Blog on Healthy Eating & Vitamins for Ileostomy Patients

This topic is about finding helpful resources and advice for people with an ileostomy who are interested in healthy eating, vitamins, and managing anxiety. Here are some insights and suggestions that might be useful:

1. Information Resources:
- VeganOstomy.ca is highly recommended as a comprehensive website offering experience-based advice on ileostomy care, diet, and supplements.
- The "Ostomydiaries" YouTube channel, run by Amber, provides videos on vitamins she uses and other topics related to living with an ostomy.

2. Vitamin Formats:
- Centrum chewable and gummy multivitamins are popular choices among those who need alternatives to time-released or enteric-coated pills.
- Centrum adult liquid multivitamin is available online and is another option for those seeking easy-to-absorb vitamins.
- Bassetts Vitamins gummies, available in UK supermarkets and pharmacies, are also mentioned as a good option.

3. Additional Nutrition Support:
- Carnation Instant Breakfast, whether in powder form mixed with fat-free milk or as ready-to-drink bottles, is noted for providing balanced nutrition and improving energy levels.
- Ensure and Boost are similar nutritional drinks that some people already use and find beneficial.

4. Anxiety, Sleep, and General Well-being Aids:
- CBD oil, taken as a few drops nightly, is reported to help improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety related to stoma management.
- Sleepy Bear tea is suggested as a natural aid for better sleep.
- Improving sleep can also help in reducing anxiety levels.

5. Herbal and Detox Suggestions:
- Ginger root and other herbs are suggested for addressing gastrointestinal bacterial issues and promoting overall gut health and detoxification, though these are anecdotal recommendations.
