Hi all
i had surgery just under 3 weeks ago and just getting used to the stoma
being vegetarian and food limitations I was wondering how others managed with different food options
cheesy mash I’m getting tired of lol
best wishes all

Do you have an Ileostomy or colostomy?
They use the same bags but the diets are very different. My friend has a colostomy and eats whatever even sweetcorn!
Oh how I missed sweetcorn
With my Ileostomy I had a good diet but I was very careful in the beginning

Artsie, I'll happily eat corn on the cob "for you" whenever you want if it helps .

You are naughty. Fresh with salt and butter it’s the very best
I’m reversed now so I can manage a little sweetcorn with my salad. Not as much as I’d like though
Ann
Artsie - i'm naughty but nice hopefully... and I love a cheeky chuckle
Hi NickyP
Some of us have put diagnosis, staging and treatment in our profiles, which can be seen by clicking on usernames.
It's quite a useful way for people with similar treatment journeys to connect.
I am hoping your results were only slightly borderline in an area if it's only a "may"
