Could Cranberry Juice Be Causing My Diarrhea?

This topic is about whether cranberry-strawberry juice might be causing diarrhea for someone with a stoma. The person has been living with a stoma for four years and usually handles large amounts of juice well. However, after introducing this particular juice, they started experiencing diarrhea and are curious if the juice is the culprit.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Fruit juices, especially those with high sugar content like cranberry blends, can often lead to diarrhea for people with a stoma.

2. Try an elimination test by stopping the cranberry-strawberry juice for about a week to see if the diarrhea goes away.

3. If diarrhea continues, it's important to prevent dehydration by quickly replacing lost fluids and electrolytes.

4. Everyone's tolerance is different. Some people with a stoma can drink cranberry juice every day without any problems. It's important to pay attention to how your own body reacts rather than relying only on others' experiences.
