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's2

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.3
