Watermelon and Ostomy: Any Challenges?

Have any of you had issues with eating watermelon? I have been trying new things since New Maxine has allowed me to eat a lot more things that I couldn't eat before.

I never could cope with water melon before or after the stoma! It's all about experimenting with what suits us and what doesn't.

Best wishes

What symptoms did you get from watermelon?

Symptoms were reflux - more to do with aggravating my hiatus hernia than anything stoma connected. 

I haven't had any issues with watermelon. It helps keep me hydrated as well. I eat a personal size watermelon every few days.

I've had my stoma (Stella) since November. I also have a hernia. Possible surgery in September. I've never had a problem eating anything. Nuts, popcorn, watermelon, any melon. I chew real good, drink lots of water.

I love homemade watermelon margaritas!! :))

I had a lot of output from my stoma but no pain ... watermelon tastes so good. I suggest eating a small amount at a time..... GOOD LUCK

No problems with watermelon in 36 years!

It's a no for me. Loads of food on my no list. On the plus side, I have lost 3 stone in weight.
