What to eat with a ileostomy?

Answer 1

For the most part, people who have had an ileostomy can enjoy a regular diet. In some instances, the person may need to avoid high fiber foods since they can be harder to digest, but this is not a norm.

Answer 2

I find I cannot digest peanuts or walnuts at all and after a painful blockage quickly learned to stay away from these. Also raw vegetables like carrots. All other steemed vegetables and most fruit are fine. I use a slow cooker to cook my meat. After years of no problems I made the mistake of eating Chinese chessnuts with a Chinese meal and finished up in the mergency room. I should have known better. My rule is, if I have to really chew anything very hard, I do not eat it. I do,however, drink enough tea to float a battleship! Anonymous
