Hi there
Anyone on here with an ileostomy? I can't eat a lot of fruit, veg, nuts, seeds etc so looking to see how others in the same situation manage and still lose weight.

    Have you been told by your Doc to eat a high fibre diet?
    If so you can swap your settings so you can follow that instead of one of the other ones.

    Hope this helps:)

    Thanks babyluthi,
    All of my lower bowel is gone so high fibre foods aren't really an issue for me, its more the fact that nuts, seeds, veg etc could cause my stoma to get blocked. I'm still trying to find the right balance but find the carb cravings brutal when i can't fill up on fruit and veg.

    Could you get a grinder and grind the nuts up into a paste in a grinder or food processor? Perhaps put on some crackers? Or even eat them it at the spoonful?

    What I mean is the same way people eat smooth peanut butter?
