Thats awesome glad your eating veggies and fruits Ive ate corn and tomatoes with no problem didnt realize how much I missed those foods until I ate them again.
I realised I was missing them. It's funny how I started craving the "healthy" foods - the ones most people have to make an effort to eat. I've always quite liked fruit and veg - even as a kid, I was one of those weird kids who would quite happily eat my greens - but I didn't realise I'd actually crave things until I'd not eaten them for a few weeks. Or not eaten them in the right forms anyway: apple juice and stewed apple aren't the same as biting into a whole, raw apple with its skin on!
Pears, apples, tomatoes and cucumber were the ones I missed most, and the ones I'm very pleased to be eating again now. I'm still rationing myself to one a day. It's nice to have vegetables other than overcooked carrots some days too!
Maybe this could work as a tactic to get people eating more healthily - the latest diet gimmick, eat no salad for a month and after that you'll want to eat it every meal!
When you say corn, what do you mean? I think this is one of the words that has a different meaning in the US than it does in the UK. And of course corn comes in lots of different forms anyway. I miss sweet corn, and baby corn. But I'm pretty sure they're very very likely to cause blockages, so I hadn't planned to try them at all. And I know popcorn is definitely to be avoided, but I never cared for that. But Corn Flakes are fine, one of the best breakfast cereals to eat it you have an ileostomy. So what kind of corn are you eating without problems? Because I'd love to hear if I'm avoiding baby corn unnecessarily!
It's mostly only the fruit and vegetables I've been missing. I haven't tried eating brown bread, because I haven't missed it eating white. Dried fruit, nuts and sees I never ate much of and don't miss, although I have been wanting a Cadbury's fruit and nut bar lately for some reason! And I'm glad that peanut butter doesn't pose a problem.
But the ones I remember reading as too dangerous to risk are sweet corn (I assume that means baby corn too), popcorn, mushrooms, whole nuts and large seeds (e.g. sesame seeds), and high-fibre breakfast cereals like bran, muesli, etc. And dried fruit, some kinds of beans, lentils and onion to be kept to very small amounts. Has anyone with an ileostomy ever tried eating any of those?
), but at least I'm eating pears and apples and tomatoes.
