Have any of you had issues with eating watermelon? I have been trying new things since New Maxine has allowed me to eat a lot more things that I couldn't eat before.

I never could cope with water melon before or after the stoma! It's all about experimenting with what suits us and what doesn't.

Best wishes

Symptoms were reflux - more to do with aggravating my hiatus hernia than anything stoma connected.

I haven't had any issues with watermelon. It helps keep me hydrated as well. I eat a personal size watermelon every few days.

I've had my stoma (Stella) since November. I also have a hernia. Possible surgery in September. I've never had a problem eating anything. Nuts, popcorn, watermelon, any melon. I chew real good, drink lots of water.

I had a lot of output from my stoma but no pain ... watermelon tastes so good. I suggest eating a small amount at a time..... GOOD LUCK
