Im the same the food restrictions are crazy. Can hardly eat anything. There are foods that I can have that are ok with my colitis but not diabetic friendly and vice versa.

Yes & it is so depressing. I used to loved cooking and going out for meals, now it is just a horrible experience. I can only eat mashed potato & fish Chicken & rice without having a bad reaction. I am constantly in pain with my Bag as my output is so liquid & it burns the skin. Have been in hospital with an severe vomiting & infection which developed into Cellulitis, in there for 5 days on a Drip & NG tube to drain off the collection of Bile. I am so depressed about the whole thing. I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis so my Immune system is useless to fight off many other things. So fed up with this.... sorry for the moan !

Thanks for that Clare, my Stoma Nurse said to try Crisps to thicken it. Not good for the Diabetes but some days after trying about 6 bags (I know how bad that is) it does thicken for a few hours in the evening. I can't eat that amount every day but my Surgeon & Nurse say I should do !! Crazy but it works
