Hi to all, I go for my ileo consult at Cleveland Clinic FL on Friday. I have cried all day, all day trying to think of what I might miss asking. I am driving myself crazy with this. Should I have it done or should I not? I'm still the one on the fence, trying to get the best education I can before going ahead. If you had to do it all over again, what would you be asking that surgeon and osteo nurse today? Please be honest and pray that God will help me through this and give me the answer when to do it, what to ask, and the willingness to accept the answer that is meant for me. Thanks so much. The closer the consult, the more scared I get, the more diarrhea I get, and the more I care. Thank you.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
