hi all. I’ve popped over from the bowel cancer group. Read my story if you’d like to know my history and why we are sadly part of the Macmillan group.
just a question on foods that should be avoided really. My boyfriend has a stoma, which he had in place last October, due to be reversed possibly April time. The thing is google has a lot of out of date information with regards to food. I’d like to know what he really shouldn’t eat.
His output is never the same day to day. Some days it might be runny and not much of it, other days it will be a porridge consistency. Some days the bag is just full of air. At the moment, the last few days it’s been runny and not much of it. It’s very dark as is on iron tablets. He tries to eat normally, this includes apples with the skin on occasionally, he’s not a fan of fruit, he’ll eat normal veg, sometimes spicy foods, etc, all these say to avoid on the internet, oh and occasionally a handful of peanuts. Should he avoid sweet corn? Mushrooms? Onions? Celery? Apple skin? Peanuts? Spicy food? Curtain bread? Etc
thanks x
Hello.. 12wks post op and still learning.. What can suit you one week the next no it will play up one way or another.. Same item same shop same cooking time 
. Unfortunately its all trial and error and little at first, no fun I know.. As mentioned stay away from skins and mushrooms.. FINELY chopped onions don't cause me any problems ie mince and onion pie BUT we are all different.. Best wishes x
