Struggling with Blockages and Limited Diet - Need Suggestions!

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a person struggling with blockages and a limited diet due to having an ileostomy. The individual experienced severe pain after consuming strawberries and is frustrated by the restricted food options. They are seeking suggestions and advice on what to eat and how to manage blockages.

Advice and Insights
1. Experiment with different food textures and gradually reintroduce them to find out if it's the texture or the food causing the problem.
2. Consider using a food processor or juicer to make food easier to digest, similar to how baby food is prepared.
3. Drink plenty of water while eating and chew food thoroughly to aid digestion and prevent blockages.
4. Avoid foods with small seeds like strawberries, blueberries, and grapes, and remove seeds from cucumbers and tomatoes.
5. Some individuals can eat a wide variety of foods with an ileostomy, but it's important to be cautious with certain foods like those with skins or high fiber.
6. Limiting the diet to basics and gradually adding one new food every day or so can help identify problematic foods.
7. Use a body wand high frequency vibrator and lay down flat on the back for 15-30 minutes to help with blockages.
8. Cut food into small pieces, chew well, and lay down after eating to aid digestion.
9. Stay hydrated, avoid uncooked foods, and take short walks to prevent food from causing blockages.
