Sharing with you my latest greatest ileostomy diet

Post by Shamrock4806 »

High output ileostomy, lactose intolerant and adverse to gluten. Pre diabetic.

Mornings:

A mashed potato, scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon bit burrito. Usually the frozen kind in a package. Provides a little protein and potassium.

Or a bowl of rice type cereal with lactose free milk and a scoop of whey isolate protein powder. Depends, I at least have one protein drink with or without cereal once a day. Could be late at night, in the middle of the night or early morning. When I feel hungry.

Lunch

A half a Italian sausage (no veggies) on a roll

Or one of my frozen tv entrees that has extremely soft vegetables without a skin like carrots, mashed potatoes, or very very soft broccoli tips with nothing fibrous or hard. Chicken breast cubes, or turkey, pasta and some sort of sauce. Also can be ground beef patty or meatballs. Macaroni and cheese works too. A very small portion of spaghetti with plain chunk less tomato sauce seems to be fine, much more than 2-3 oz causes issues, gas and a runny stained bag.

Dinner same as Lunch. Small portions like a handful size.

Other eats: Low sodium sandwich ham slices, cheese slices or sticks. Fruit Greek yogurt. Orange juice. And a rare very small can of V8 juice.

Sin food: A bottle or can of non caffeinated orange soda. Crunchy Cheetos.

Vitamins: A men's light vitamin gummies, iron pill once in awhile, a vitamin K pill, a light potassium and magnesium citrate gummies daily. I cut back if urine gets orangy.

The object here is to minimize food, high protein (whey isolate is almost 100%), medium carbs and almost no fat. To have a consistent output that's not super runny, keep hunger at bay, have more lull periods for a bag change if needed but provide maximum energy and full nutrition.

Some are lucky and can eat whatever they want, but unfortunately I cannot without suffering the consequences.
