Hi, I've just joined the group almost a year after my bowel tumour was removed and my stoma came to live with me.
Since then I have pondered how much of my previous diet I can return to?
I avoid things like tomato, onions ,beans, fruit, lettuce and peas etc totally but wonder if I am being a bit paranoid about it?
Any shared experience would be helpful.
Hi I’m nine months in and eat everything without skin. No problems at all. I’ve ate peas since the beginning I started with little petit pois and chewed. Think that works for me chewing much more than before. I’m now eating nuts though they do cause jaw ache from all the chewing.
I’ve not eaten sweetcorn which I really miss. That’s the one thing I know it comes out how it goes in and it’s definitely a blocker. I’m going to try the baby corns this summer so I’ll let you know how it goes.
Also I’ve stay away from the ordinary coss type lettuce not that I think it blocks but I feel I need colour so I buy Italian style and spinach strong leaves mix them up then add radishes cucumber with seeds removed and beetroot it’s delicious and bright
sometimes I grate carrot though not often
It’s surprising what we can eat once our stoma’s are settled

No problem.
Enjoy experimenting.
