Tag: Food blockages

For individuals with an ileostomy, managing fluid and electrolyte balance is critical, as the surgery can lead to increased fluid loss. Choosing the right fruit snacks can be a safe and delicious way to get nutrients while minimizing the risk of blockages and digestive discomfort.

Up to 60% of people with an ileostomy experience food-related issues, such as blockages, particularly in the weeks immediately following surgery. This makes understanding which foods are safe to eat, and how to prepare them, a critical part of post-operative care and long-term health.
