I've been considering getting a NutriBullet or similar blender so that I can have a safe way to eat vegetables. I had my ileostomy surgery in November 2015, and I've been hospitalized 3 times since then with blockages. Two doctors told me the blockages were from scar tissue, not food. But one of the doctors on my latest hospital stay asked me what I'd been eating! I felt very offended by what seemed to me to be his almost accusatory tone, but then I realized that just about all the vegetables I eat could be suspect when it comes to blockages. That's when I started seriously considering a NutriBullet. If the issue is just chewing enough, it seems that would help. But I've also seen messages online saying that the pulverizing doesn't remove the fiber. So if the problem is the fiber, would using the NutriBullet do any good? I'd really appreciate knowing the experience of those who have tried the NutriBullet (or similar machines).
