well today I saw a new stoma nurse in a new part of the country - admittedly it has taken me six months to arrange contact but better late than never. My new nurse was amazing, she took me through all the different types of bag as apparently the one I am using is not ideal and there are now new ones to try.
The best news she could give me was about my diet. I had been told a huge list of things that i couldn't eat - fresh fruit, veg, salad etc and consequently for the best part of three years I have been eating a seriously restricted diet. I have now been told that this was the sort of diet i should have been eating only whilst I was recovering.
So to cut my ramblings short - i can now eat whatever i want!!!!!
