Thanksgiving is a time for gathering with loved ones and enjoying delicious meals. For those with an ostomy, this holiday can still be a delightful experience without too much worry. Here are some friendly tips and insights from fellow ostomates to help you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast:

- One person shared their experience of safely indulging in a variety of holiday foods, including BBQ tri-tip, potato salad, Rocky Road ice cream, pumpkin pie, and a full turkey dinner. They also offered a handy tip for managing your ostomy: consider using two IGGIE™ clips on your pouch for extra security when you expect more output.

- If your Thanksgiving plans need to be adjusted, like celebrating a day later due to work, don't worry. Another person reassured that delaying the meal doesn't cause any special issues for those with an ostomy. Just plan your celebration when it suits you best.

- For those who love desserts, one member happily reported that enjoying pecan pie, even with its rich and nutty goodness, didn't cause any problems. So, feel free to savor those sweet treats without too much concern.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving with confidence and delight in the company and the feast!
