snugger,
There are several posts on this subject. Below is one of many ostomy food charts that lists foods that cause obstructions as well as what other foods can do. Hope this helps.
Below is a link to one of the original posts.

Snugger? I have had two blockages prior to my ostomy, or are you talking about after the surgery. If you are talking about after the surgery I can’t help for I haven’t experienced a blockage since the surgery, some one will chime in and hopefully be able to help!! Good luck
