Can People with Ileostomies Eat Sorghum and Oat Flours?

When you have an ileostomy, figuring out which foods work best for you can be a bit of a journey. If you're wondering about incorporating sorghum and oat flours into your diet, especially for a favorite gluten-free chocolate-chip cookie recipe, here's some helpful advice and insights to consider:

1. If gluten isn't an issue for you, rye flour can be a good substitute for whole wheat flour.

2. Oat flour is mostly made up of soluble fiber, which often provides a nice texture without the gluten. Many people with an ileostomy find that they tolerate oat flour well.

3. Rice flour is another gluten-free option that's quite popular and is often used in Japanese cooking.

4. Some ileostomates have reported that they can eat all types of flours without any problems. They prefer to choose organic, non-GMO options and like to use sprouted grains for better overall health.

5. Organic whole oats, oat flour, and even steel-cut oats are generally well-tolerated by some with an ileostomy.

6. Sorghum flour has been successfully tried by others. As with any new food, it's a good idea to start with a small amount and gradually increase it, especially if you're still getting used to your ileostomy.
