This topic is about understanding whether well-cooked and finely-chopped spinach can cause an intestinal blockage for someone with an ostomy, especially since raw spinach is often seen as a potential risk. Here are some helpful insights and advice from others who have shared their experiences:

1. Many people with ostomies have successfully eaten cooked spinach, including creamed spinach and sautéed baby spinach, without any issues, even shortly after surgery.

2. Raw, whole-leaf spinach is more likely to cause blockages. One person shared that they experienced a blockage from raw spinach and now only eat it cooked and chopped.

3. It's important to watch portion sizes. Eating too much creamed spinach caused discomfort for one individual.

4. A nutritionist suggested using baby spinach, removing the stems, and sautéing it thoroughly for better digestion.

5. General tips from several people include:
- Cook spinach until it is very soft and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Start with small portions and gradually increase to see how your body reacts.
- Chew your food thoroughly, as this can significantly reduce the risk of blockages.

6. Spinach is generally considered soft and low in fiber. Some people also tolerate small amounts of well-cooked collard greens or kale.

7. Be mindful that spinach's high iron content might lead to constipation for some individuals.
