This discussion is about an experience someone had after eating a lot of dried pineapple, including the tough core, which led to a significant issue with their ostomy appliance. They suspect the core caused a blockage and are curious if others have had similar experiences.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people find that pineapple juice or well-chewed fresh pineapple slices are generally okay, but they advise being careful because pineapple is very fibrous and can sometimes cause forceful output.

2. One person shared that they avoid pineapple altogether after experiencing a severe blockage that required a week-long hospital stay and almost led to surgery.

3. Several people agree that the core of the pineapple is the most troublesome part. If you choose to eat pineapple, it should be in small amounts, cooked, and thoroughly chewed to avoid issues.

4. For prevention, some suggest using waterproof mattress covers or travel bags to protect bedding. Additionally, wearing a Hollister bag retention belt can help secure the pouch in case of unexpected, forceful output.
