This topic is about managing vomiting after having a partial gastrectomy and an ileostomy. A person from the UK, who had these surgeries about a year ago, is experiencing frequent vomiting and is unsure about which foods or drinks are best tolerated. They are seeking advice from others who might have gone through similar experiences.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Some people with an ileostomy who experience frequent vomiting may need a nasogastric (NG) tube for gastric decompression. Although it might be uncomfortable, it can provide relief.

2. High-calorie oral nutrition supplements like Complan and Fortisip shakes, which are available in the UK, can help maintain calorie and nutrient intake when regular eating is challenging.

3. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals or snacks instead of large meals. This approach is often easier on a sensitive upper gastrointestinal tract.

4. It is important to contact your stoma nurse or consultant promptly. Sudden vomiting after surgery should be medically assessed to identify and address any underlying issues.

5. Consider additional calorie and nutrient boosters such as:
- Protein shakes made with extra carbohydrate powder.
- Homemade smoothies.
- Daily multivitamin tablets.
