For guidance, follow a nurse or doctor’s orders at each stage of your post-op adjustment. Individual sensitivity to certain foods varies greatly. You must determine, by trial, what is best for you; our newly released “Eating With An Ostomy” guide can help in this process.
Special Considerations
Blockages and Dehydration: Those who have had ileostomy surgery are most at risk of blockages and dehydration, but a good practice for all is to hydrate properly and thoroughly chew your food. If you suspect a blockage it requires quick attention and often an emergency room visit. Download our card for guidance and use in hospital visits.
Resources in Spanish
Nutrition Support is most commonly used for vitamin B-12 absorption issues. In other severe cases intravenous and tube feeding may be needed. The Oley foundation can provide additional support in this regard.
Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS, Short Gut) is a rare but severe malabsorption issue. Short bowel syndrome generally occurs when a large portion of the small intestine has been removed by surgery or as a result of disease or injury. Know the symptoms and talk to a doctor to see if you are at risk.
