Re: What would you miss most ?

Years ago after having an operation where I had to have a colostomy bag fitted, ( removed 6 months later) the stoma nurse told me I had to eat the opposite of a healthy diet, cakes puddings that sort of thing, I was in heaven, or I would have been if I had an apitite, but I could eat any fatty food, normally the stuff you are advised to avoid, cucumbers, for years I hated even the smell of them, I associated them with being I'll as a kid, its only these last few years that I can eat them but only in small quantities, I love fruit, I'd miss cherries, strawberries, raspberries, ect, but sweet stuff, I am addicted to it , I love cakes, biscuits, chocolate,
I just hope I never have to give any of it up...

Primus, one of the benefits of having an ileostomy is that I am encouraged to eat more salty things, so its a bag of crisps every day with my lunchtime sandwich. The other things that are recommended are marshmallows and jelly babies. All things I have avoided for years.

See, now you've got me started, I want some jelly babies now, haven't had them for years..

Almonds a healthy addiction ...

I used to love radishes & cucumber, but if I eat them I suffer & so does everyone near me, so I don't eat them any more. Chocolate can have the same effect, but I haven't stopped eating that.

I cannot imagine life without fruit and veg but for me it would be infinitely worse if I could not have cheese, garlic, onions, bacon, crisps or ice cream!
