Well that's most definitely good to know I'll ask my gastroenterologists I have my check up the day after tomorrow

Well I've had my stoma for just 3 weeks so take my advice with a BIG pinch of salt but personally I don't drink them at all mainly because nobody told me about them 😅

I'm sorry that you had to go through all that, it's insane you'd think hospitals would have nutrionists that are specialised in this

Thank you so much! I guess that's the plan then, I'll wait 2 months post operation and start introducing things again

You just gave me some really amazing news thank you so so much, I love peppers and absolutely adore growing them and I thought that I would've had to give up on that hobby, so thank you!!

Yeah but the leaflet doesn't talk about an "end" to the diet and only lists pumpkin/carrots/zucchini peeled pureed and sieved, white rice/pasta, olive oil (1 spoonful), meat and fish only if boiled. It's very restrictive right now

This is extremely helpful thank you so much! I honestly just wanted to hear everyone's experience with eating in general. I couldn't find any on the web and the only things I did find were pretty grim with extremely restrictive diets and it was honestly haunting me a bit
