Hi everyone,
I'm new to all this and just got out of the hospital a week ago from my ileostomy surgery (Ulcerative colitis). I've noticed that my stool seems almost TOO thick - like toothpaste instead of applesauce, and I'm wondering if I should do something to thin it down?
I'm eating mostly gluten-free breads, butternut squash / pureed soups, yogurt, some Rice Chex, a Boost drink, Macaroni and cheese, and tons of water, ha ha. I'm not sure what kinds of foods to introduce to help things a bit - I don't do too well with meat... but maybe more whole grains? Baby food?
Has anyone else had this problem? It's got me a little worried... :confused2:
