With an ileostomy I've been told that it's easy to become dehydrated, easy to lack the nutrients you need, and some people have to be careful with things like nuts, seeds and fruit skins.
I live in a pretty small town, so we don't have a Whole Foods or much fruit and vegetable variety to choose from. I also don't have the money to buy a ton of expensive or exotic foods when I go someplace with more options, so I'm pretty worried that I won't have much to choose from if I choose to have an ileostomy done.
I live near a WalMart, Hy-Vee and Fareway, so if they don't have a certain product, I likely can't get it. I know that people often add vegetables to smoothies but knowing nothing about them, I have no idea what goes well with what, how to prepare it, or whether or not it would be good for someone with a new ileostomy.
Are there any recipes or websites specifically for people with ileostomies? I also could use some advice on those nutritional powders that can be added to drinks and what kind of equipment is best for smoothie making. (I'm one of those people who's never even used a blender...)
Any other dietary advice for having an ileostomy is appreciated too! I'm trying to learn everything I can to prepare before having the procedure done.
