Hi gang,

Life with T2 is very challenged with an ileostomy. It seems brutally unfair that so mant healthy foods will cause blockages.  I have had my first blockage. Not eager to repeat!!

Anyother T2 peeps on this amazing forum? Maybe we can chat about how you eat?  To be honest I am pretty sure my pancreas is almost just pooped out- it doesn't seem to be helping much without insulin.

Thanks gang

Jes

Hey True,

I'm T2 with Illiostomy. It does add a bit of a challenge, I do a lot of smoothies, blending, juicing and soups on those difficult foods and still get the nutritional and calories ( not that I need the calories 🥺 ).  At least you have the hot air balloon festival 🤣🤣🤣. Although it would be cool to attend.

I fill in the Nutritional gaps with lots of Twinkies.

have a great day

What are twinkies and what type of soup is tolerated by ileostomy without producing gas and runny output ? Thanks
