Hi, does anyone else have a colostomy or ileostomy? How do you cope with a higher fibre healthier diet? I've gained 4 stone since my surgery 2 years ago.
I have the bag because of medical error so it's taking some adjusting to

    I have an ileostomy. I can't eat a high fiber "healthier" diet as I have severe gastroparesis and Crohn's. I'm low fiber/low fat/ whatever I get in. I had my total proctocolectomy may 5, 2017 because of fistulas/Crohn's

    Oh I just did a search and we're the same age. I'm needing to gain as I'm BMI 17 and losing (can barely eat) but it's awesome to meet other ostomates here as I haven't met many.

    I'm also steroid dependent.
