The topic is about whether it's safe to eat oysters if you have an ileostomy. The person asking the question loves oysters and is planning to attend a shellfish festival. They have an ileostomy due to Crohn’s disease, which is now in remission, and they are curious if eating oysters, either raw or cooked, might cause any issues. They mention that most foods don't bother them anymore and are seeking advice from others with similar experiences.

Here are some helpful insights and advice from others:

1. Many people with long-term ileostomies have enjoyed eating raw and cooked oysters, as well as other seafood like clams, lobster, and crab, without any problems. They suggest trying oysters if you feel comfortable with it.

2. One person mentioned they were warned about the possibility of blockages from seafood but have not experienced any issues themselves. They recommend chewing thoroughly and extra carefully to minimize any risk of blockages.

3. To manage any fishy odors after eating seafood, consider using odor-control drops or liquid in your pouch.
