I thought I would be interesting to have a light hearted conversation about how our Stoma’s dictate what we can eat.

This is not in any way meant to be advice more a little research into how we manage meals and adapt the meals we enjoyed which are now banned by our Stoma’s 

I was on a very high fibre low carb diet before the operation. On waking up my transformation started,

Once home I reverted to that four year old with fish finger white bread sandwiches with Mayo and butter. I ate steamed puddings and custard basically everything I’d stopped eating years ago high sugar and beige  I really enjoyed being able to eat those banned food.

How I would love to chomp a sweet corn, fresh salad and tomatoes. 

What did you survive on after your op and what do you miss eating most ? ……….

  • hi Artsie, I try most foods - sometimes there's not a bad reaction. - if I try them before 1pm. Eating a small amount of something sounds like a good idea to me. Fingers crossed for you for an uneventful evening.

    You poor thing, you’re my future I was told today that when I can have a reversal I’m going to have twelve to fifteen trips to the little room. Think I’ll get a camp bed and a TV. 
    Hope you can get some help with meds so at least you can have the odd treat.
