When it comes to food absorption, it is not a problem for
every ostomate. Some ostomates can eat food items, which are hard to absorb.
After the ostomy surgery, ask your doctor and nurse about the diet. He/she will
tell you what food items will suit you until you are an ostomate. However, some
ostomates have absorption issues. In this case, you cannot eat everything, you
have to think of your intestine before taking meals. When you cannot consume
the minerals and vitamins, it means that your significant portion of the small
bowel in the colon has removed. Well, after the surgery, your doctor will guide
you about the new lifestyle, eating habits, and handling the ostomy pouch and
other supplies. He will inform you if your intestinal portion has removed.
Always listen to your surgeon's advice, you cannot eat everything, on your
choice. If you are enduring nutrient deficiency, you should follow the expert's
recommendation.
Eating
Barriers
After ostomy surgery, some people avoid food entirely.
They are afraid to eat and digest. Therefore, they have to face nutrition
deficiencies. As an ostomate, you should not apply too many restrictions on
your food. In the initial days, you should avoid some food, and follow a
restrict diet routine; however, you cannot do it forever. Before making any
change in your diet, you should ask your expert once. A Colorectal Nutritionist
at Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, named Claudia Mueller has said, do not
impose too many barriers in your diet routine.
You should eat and drink a lot of juices and water. You should avoid gastric foods and the meals that are hard to digest. If you are not allowed to take red meat, you should find an alternative to compete for the deficiency of proteins. Apart from strict advice, you should listen to other people’s advice. You should share your diet story and listen to the other persons’ too. You can test food on your digestive system. Eat a specific meal for three consecutive days. If your stomach and intestines are not creating any problem with that food, you can continue that. Otherwise, shift your body to another meal.

Clogging
of Fiber
The clogging of fiber is the biggest fear of ostomates.
Fiber is a genuine problem for stoma; however, for the people who do not chew
their food. Therefore, whatever you eat, chew it very well. Dry fruits, nuts,
and popcorn are the problems in some ostomates, especially the people who have
ileostomy surgery. Thus, avoid the food or chew it. Chew your every bite 25 to
thirty times in your mouth.
Odor
Do not eat the food that releases the bad odor or gas.
Avoid onion, garlic, chives, red meat and some poultry for a few months.
Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and juices.
