Topic Explanation
The forum discussion centers around an individual who has had an ileostomy for about five months and is experiencing frequent blockages despite taking precautions such as puréeing food and drinking plenty of water. The individual is seeking advice on how to avoid blockages, especially since they are currently without upper teeth and will be for the next three months.

Advice and Insights
1. Potential Causes of Blockages:
- Scar tissue or adhesions might be causing the obstructions.
- It is suggested to have a CT scan or colonoscopy through the stoma to check for these issues.

2. Dietary Suggestions:
- Consider incorporating canned beets and jellied cranberry sauce into the diet, as these might help with the blockages.

3. Medical Consultation:
- It is important to discuss these issues with a medical doctor (MD) and possibly expedite an appointment with a gastroenterologist to address the problem more thoroughly.
