Post-Ileostomy Diet Recommendations?

Topic Explanation

- Consult with a stoma nurse or doctor's office for personalized advice.
- Experiment with small portions of different foods to see how the body reacts.
- Chew food thoroughly and stay hydrated.
- Avoid foods that may cause gas, thick output, or liquid output.

- If experiencing abdominal pain, vomiting, or a temperature, seek medical help immediately.
- Eat slowly with smaller portions and chew longer.
- Avoid certain foods like popcorn, peanuts, and seafood if they cause discomfort.
