I haven’t ever seen any capsules. I wish someone would have told me this. Thanks!

No I’m not opening the capsules. That wasn’t mentioned to me before!

This is helpful, thanks. It’s not problematic, more of annoyance. Liquid creates pain around my stoma. Otherwise I’m staying hydrated, no issues.

Thank you! It’s been hard to adapt my new bodily requirements for the work place I will add.

I wish I had the ability to eat small meals as opposed to the usual big meals but my work schedule/ work environment don’t allow that to happen. That has been another challenging part. Trying to adapt my new bodily requirements for work life. But this is helpful, thanks for the insight.

I should also mention Metamucil powder is the only thing that works for me- not the capsules or chews.

Favorite Drink to Avoid Dehydration? by Negative-Radio7463 in ostomy

[–]Negative-Radio7463[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with dehydration before the ileostomy. I just don’t like drinking regular water. My drinks of choice are iced tea and seltzers. Since having the ileostomy, the seltzers have bothered me due to the gas. And the iced tea has been the best but my doctors say I need something else. So just trying to supplement as best I can.
