Snack ideas for ileostomy and limited diet?

Hello sweetheart, I'm ileostomy and I love the color red on women. I only have one meal midday, grazing on granola. Your system slows down if your input slows, and your timing slows. I go once or twice a day, very little. I stay moving around here all day long. I keep a handful of toilet paper over my stoma to catch. Hot water cleanse the best. The bags gave me a red ring problem from the glues to your skin. The more you eat, the more you go. Kemo looking back at you from Baltimore, Maryland.

Try eating bananas. They fill you up and are easy on the stomach. I also can't eat much raw fruit as it goes straight through and apple skin and orange pith are really hard to chew up so can cause a blockage. But bananas are fine, I eat one every day and no problems at all. Good luck and remember chew everything really well and drink lots of water :)

Hi from Baltimore. Bananas are the antidote to the chemo therapies. Green bananas that have just slightly turned yellow have the most healthy benefit. When they turn yellow, they lose their enzymes and they turn too sweet and sticky, not good. Monkeys and gorillas eat the green bananas with just a little yellow up by the stems. Try one. The younger chimps eat the yellow because of the sugar. Sugar makes your stools loose and sticky. Once you've tasted a solid, meaty green banana that is just starting to get sweet, you won't eat any yellow bananas again. I eat a lot of granola, V8 juice, cheese, and no red meat. Steaks are not good. Hope things are good for you in your part of the world. Chemo from Baltimore.

My go-to snack is peeled and sliced apple wedges dipped in strawberry or blueberry yogurt. Yum...

After 4 years and 4 major operations and having an ileostomy for 2 years, I have found the foods that I digest and those I don't. I am obviously a meat eater and not a grass grazer. I find raw fruits and cooked vegetables don't digest, plus all the usual nuts, mushrooms, sweetcorn, etc. I get around the fruit by drinking fruit smoothies and cooking vegetables well, softening them and mashing them or putting them in a blender to make a nice gravy. But, like everyone says, the answer to eating most things is chew, chew, chew. After a while, it becomes normal to chew everything to pulp. I was told by my stoma team to enjoy most things in moderation and chew, chew, chew.

It will be two years in July since my colon was removed. I can feel very hungry at times, I eat more protein but I also eat anything and everything. Sometimes I think the hunger is the need for more fluids. I take Imodium every day but I have not really had any issues regarding things I cannot eat. I think people are scared into believing their diet will be so very restricted they will not enjoy things they ate all their lives, unless you try things you will never know.

We can eat anything. It's a matter of how long you want to clean out your bags. I don't want to be cleaning out sticky louse crap. Your crap is what you eat. Horses crap picks up easily. Our crap sticks to anything bag-like. Have fun. Kemo Jerz from Baltimore.

Lolbyes, we have to eat and have to clean our bags out, and we have to live with something. We are alive, thank God, Victoria.

I eat light so I don't have to clean out a bag, and I'm alive and I love women in red.

Ileostomy to colostomy! Eat everything! Prolapsed stoma! About to see my surgeon!

Sound like me. I ate an apple and got a blockage that hospitalized me for a week. And then pineapple did the same but for three days. And I process food suuuppper fast, like 20 minutes fast. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread. I put peanut butter on thick.

Hi, did you see your surgeon about the prolapsed stoma? I have one as well, and they said just make the flange big and watch it. If it changes colors and the output is good! I'm sad I did too much to do it!

A year ago, the surgeon just said to watch it and make sure the color is good! I am going back on dating sites and think I will have it reduced! I don't want to freak the girls out!
