What foods can I eat after ostomy reversal?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about the dietary considerations after an ostomy reversal. The original poster is seeking advice on specific foods to eat after the reversal and is concerned about insoluble fiber in their diet.

Advice and Insights:
- Stick to soluble fiber foods and avoid anything with a peel or shell that doesn't dissolve in water after about an hour.
- Some individuals have successfully eaten sushi, potato chips, and fresh veggies after their reversal without issues.
- Start with small meals and gradually increase portion sizes.
- Consider a low-fiber diet initially and gradually introduce higher fiber foods, paying attention to chewing thoroughly.
- Be cautious with spicy foods, pineapple, and papaya, as they may affect the healing process.
- Some individuals have had success with fruits, raw veggies, and softer nuts like pecans and cashews.
- Avoid foods with seeds, such as raspberries, blackberries, and bread with seeds, to prevent potential issues.
- Consider taking Metamucil capsules to help with bulking up stools and managing bowel movements.
- It's important to be mindful of individual differences in tolerating foods and to listen to the body's signals for any adverse reactions.
