Even non- ostomate nut lovers may experience discomfort after enjoying more than a reasonable share of nuts. One of our members with an ileostomy tells this story. If I can have one handful of nuts one night last week, then five handfuls one night this week might be okay. This error landed our member in the hospital overnight with a complete blockage. Trying to give birth to a plug of peanut pieces behind a stoma is definitely not to be put on your wish list.
Moderation is the key.
Also, if he drank water and had other food with the nuts, the blockage may not have been so bad, or even happened. Meats Most meats and poultry do not present problems for the average ostomate, but those with fat content or heavy casings can be somewhat more difficult for the bowel to handle. Some of the bratwurst types can have very heavy casings that should be removed to reduce the chance of blockage. Try sausage patties instead of links, or try hot dogs with the skin removed. Most sausage casings nowadays are purported to be very thin plastic, which are not something you would want in large pieces behind your stoma.
